Overview
The node provides integration with the Flowyteam API, specifically allowing users to manage and retrieve data related to company departments. The "Get Many" operation for the Department resource fetches multiple department records from the Flowyteam system. This operation supports pagination, sorting, and the option to return either simplified or raw API response data.
This node is beneficial in scenarios where an organization wants to automate workflows involving department data, such as syncing department lists with other systems, generating reports, or triggering actions based on department information.
Practical example:
- Automatically retrieve all departments in a company to update an internal directory or HR system.
- Fetch a limited number of departments sorted by name ascending to display in a dashboard widget.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Return All | Whether to return all department records or limit the results to a specified number. |
| Limit | Maximum number of department records to return (used only if Return All is false). |
| Page | Page number for paginated results (used only if Return All is false). |
| Simplify | Whether to return simplified response data or the raw API response. |
| Sort Direction | Direction to sort the results: Ascending or Descending. |
| Sort Field | Field to sort by: ID or Name. |
Output
The output consists of JSON objects representing department records retrieved from the Flowyteam API.
- If Simplify is enabled, the output contains a streamlined version of the department data, focusing on key fields for easier consumption in workflows.
- If Simplify is disabled, the output includes the full raw API response for each department, which may contain additional metadata or nested structures.
No binary data output is involved in this operation.
Dependencies
- Requires an active connection to the Flowyteam API via an API key credential configured in n8n.
- The node depends on the Flowyteam API being accessible and the credentials having sufficient permissions to read department data.
Troubleshooting
Common issues:
- Pagination parameters (Limit and Page) not set correctly can result in incomplete data retrieval.
- API authentication errors if the API key credential is missing, invalid, or expired.
- Sorting fields or directions not supported by the API might cause errors or unexpected results.
Error messages:
- Authentication failures typically indicate problems with the API key; verify and reconfigure credentials.
- "Operation not supported" errors occur if the selected operation or resource is incorrect.
- Network or timeout errors suggest connectivity issues with the Flowyteam API endpoint.
