Overview
This node interacts with the Flowyteam API to manage employee designations. Specifically, the "Get" operation for the "Designation" resource retrieves detailed information about a specific designation by its ID. This is useful in scenarios where you need to fetch and use designation details within an automation workflow, such as integrating HR data into other systems or generating reports.
Practical examples include:
- Fetching designation details to display in a dashboard.
- Using designation information to assign roles or permissions in another system.
- Automating updates or notifications based on designation attributes.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Designation ID | The unique numeric identifier of the designation to retrieve. |
| Simplify | Whether to return a simplified version of the response data or the raw API response. |
Output
The node outputs JSON data representing the designation details retrieved from the Flowyteam API. If the "Simplify" property is set to true, the output will be a streamlined version containing only essential fields for easier consumption. Otherwise, it returns the full raw API response with all available data about the designation.
No binary data output is involved in this operation.
Dependencies
- Requires an active connection to the Flowyteam API using a configured API authentication credential.
- The node depends on the Flowyteam API being accessible and the provided Designation ID being valid.
- Proper API credentials must be set up in n8n to authenticate requests.
Troubleshooting
- Invalid Designation ID: If the provided ID does not exist, the API may return an error or empty response. Verify the ID is correct.
- Authentication Errors: Missing or invalid API credentials will cause authentication failures. Ensure the API key/token is correctly configured.
- Network Issues: Connectivity problems can prevent successful API calls. Check network access and Flowyteam service status.
- Unexpected Response Format: If "Simplify" is false, the raw API response might contain nested or complex data structures that require additional parsing.
Common error messages typically relate to authorization failures, resource not found, or malformed requests. Resolving these involves checking credentials, input parameters, and API endpoint availability.
