Overview

The node provides integration with the Flowyteam API to manage company departments. Specifically, the Update Department operation allows users to modify existing department details such as the department's name, description, and its parent department relationship.

This operation is useful in scenarios where organizational changes occur, such as renaming a department, updating its description for clarity, or restructuring by assigning it under a different parent department. For example, if a "Marketing" department is renamed to "Digital Marketing" or moved under a new division, this node operation facilitates those updates programmatically within an automation workflow.

Properties

Name Meaning
Team Name The new or updated name of the department (required).
Additional Fields Optional extra fields to update:
- Description: Text describing the department.
- Parent Department ID: Numeric ID of the parent department, if applicable.
Department ID The unique numeric identifier of the department to update (required).

Output

  • The output json field contains the response from the Flowyteam API after updating the department.
  • This typically includes the updated department data such as its ID, name, description, parent department ID, and possibly metadata about the update.
  • The node does not output binary data.

Dependencies

  • Requires an active connection to the Flowyteam API.
  • An API authentication token or API key credential must be configured in n8n to authorize requests.
  • No other external dependencies are required.

Troubleshooting

  • Common Issues:

    • Invalid or missing Department ID: The update will fail if the specified department ID does not exist or is not provided.
    • Insufficient permissions: The API key used may lack rights to update department information.
    • Network or API errors: Connectivity issues or API downtime can cause failures.

  • Error Messages:

    • "The operation 'update' is not supported for Department resource": Indicates a misconfiguration or unsupported operation; ensure the correct resource and operation are selected.
    • API error responses related to invalid input or authorization will be passed through; check credentials and input values.

  • Resolution Tips:

    • Verify that the Department ID corresponds to an existing department.
    • Confirm that the API key has update permissions.
    • Check network connectivity and API status.
    • Ensure all required fields (Team Name and Department ID) are provided.
