Overview
This node integrates with the Flowyteam API to manage employee designations within an organization. Specifically, the "Create" operation for the "Designation" resource allows users to add new designations by specifying a name and optional description. This is useful in HR or organizational management workflows where roles and titles need to be programmatically created or updated.
Practical examples include:
- Automatically creating new job titles when onboarding new departments.
- Adding custom designations based on external data sources or recruitment systems.
- Managing organizational hierarchy dynamically as part of broader employee management automation.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Designation Name | The name/title of the designation to create (required). |
| Additional Fields | Optional additional information about the designation; currently supports: Description. |
| Simplify | Whether to return a simplified response containing only essential data or the full raw API response. |
Output
The node outputs JSON data representing the newly created designation. The structure typically includes details such as the designation's unique identifier, name, description, and other metadata returned by the Flowyteam API.
If the "Simplify" property is enabled, the output will contain a streamlined version of this data focusing on key fields for easier consumption in subsequent workflow steps. Otherwise, the full raw API response is provided.
No binary data output is involved in this operation.
Dependencies
- Requires an active connection to the Flowyteam API.
- Needs an API authentication token or API key credential configured in n8n to authorize requests.
- The node depends on internal endpoint modules that handle the actual API calls for creating designations.
Troubleshooting
Common issues:
- Missing required "Designation Name" property will cause the operation to fail.
- Invalid or expired API credentials will result in authentication errors.
- Network connectivity problems can prevent successful API communication.
Error messages:
- Errors indicating unsupported operations or resources suggest misconfiguration of the resource or operation parameters.
- API error responses may include validation errors if the designation name already exists or contains invalid characters.
Resolutions:
- Ensure all required fields are filled correctly.
- Verify API credentials and refresh them if necessary.
- Check network access and proxy settings if applicable.
- Review API documentation for valid designation naming rules.
