Overview
The node provides integration with the Flowyteam API to manage various HR and project management resources. Specifically, for the Designation resource with the Update operation, it allows updating an existing employee designation by specifying its ID and new details such as name and description.
This node is beneficial in scenarios where you need to programmatically maintain or update organizational roles within your HR system, ensuring that employee designations are current and accurately described. For example, if a company restructures and changes job titles or descriptions, this node can automate those updates without manual intervention.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Designation Name | The new name of the designation to update. |
| Additional Fields | Optional additional data for the designation; currently supports: Description (text). |
| Designation ID | The unique numeric identifier of the designation to update. |
| Simplify | Whether to return simplified response data or the raw API response from Flowyteam. |
Output
The output of the node is JSON data representing the updated designation record returned by the Flowyteam API. This typically includes fields such as the designation's ID, name, description, and possibly metadata about the update.
If the "Simplify" property is enabled, the output will be a streamlined version containing only the most relevant information. Otherwise, the full raw API response is provided.
The node does not output binary data.
Dependencies
- Requires an active connection to the Flowyteam API.
- Needs an API authentication token or key configured in n8n credentials to authorize requests.
- No other external dependencies are indicated.
Troubleshooting
Common issues:
- Invalid or missing Designation ID: The update will fail if the specified ID does not exist.
- Insufficient permissions: The API key used must have rights to update designations.
- Network or API errors: Connectivity problems or API downtime can cause failures.
Error messages:
"The operation 'update' is not supported for Designation 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 the API key and input parameters.
Resolution tips:
- Verify the Designation ID exists before attempting update.
- Confirm API credentials are valid and have necessary scopes.
- Use the "Simplify" option to get clearer output for debugging.
