Overview

The node provides integration with the Flowyteam API to manage employee records, specifically supporting the update operation for employees. It allows updating various details of an existing employee such as name, email, joining date, contact information, status, login permissions, and organizational attributes like department and designation.

This node is beneficial in HR automation workflows where employee data needs to be kept current without manual intervention. For example, when an employee changes their phone number or department, this node can automatically update the record in the Flowyteam system. It can also be used to enable or disable employee login access or update passwords securely.

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the updated employee record as returned by the Flowyteam API. This typically includes all employee fields after the update has been applied, confirming the new state of the employee data.

No binary data output is involved.

Dependencies

  • Requires a valid API authentication token credential configured in n8n to connect to the Flowyteam API.
  • The node depends on the Flowyteam API being accessible and the user having appropriate permissions to update employee records.

Troubleshooting

  • Common issues:

    • Missing required fields such as Employee ID, Name, Email, or Joining Date will cause errors.
    • Invalid date formats for Joining Date may result in API rejection.
    • Insufficient permissions or invalid API credentials will lead to authentication errors.
    • Providing invalid numeric IDs for Department ID or Designation ID may cause failures.

  • Error messages:

    • Errors indicating unsupported operations or resources suggest misconfiguration of resource/operation parameters.
    • Authentication errors require checking the API key or token setup.
    • Validation errors from the API usually specify which field is incorrect or missing.

To resolve these, ensure all required properties are correctly set, verify API credentials, and confirm that referenced department/designation IDs exist in the system.
