Overview
The node provides integration with the Flowyteam API to manage various business resources, including KPI Categories. Specifically, for the KPI Category resource, it supports operations such as creating, updating, deleting, and retrieving KPI categories.
For the Create operation on the KPI Category resource, the node allows users to create a new KPI category by specifying its indicator type name. This is useful in scenarios where an organization wants to categorize key performance indicators (KPIs) under different types or groups for better management and reporting.
Practical example:
A company wants to add a new KPI category called "Customer Satisfaction" to group all KPIs related to customer feedback and service quality. Using this node's Create operation for KPI Category, they can easily add this category to their Flowyteam system.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Indicator Type Name | Name of the indicator type to create as a KPI category |
Output
The node outputs JSON data representing the created KPI category object returned from the Flowyteam API. This typically includes details such as the unique identifier of the KPI category, its name, and any other metadata provided by the API.
The node does not output binary data.
Dependencies
- Requires an active connection to the Flowyteam API.
- Requires an API authentication token credential configured in n8n to authorize requests to the Flowyteam service.
Troubleshooting
Common issues:
- Missing or invalid API credentials will cause authentication failures.
- Providing an empty or invalid "Indicator Type Name" may result in API validation errors.
- Network connectivity issues can prevent successful API calls.
Error messages:
- Errors indicating unauthorized access usually mean the API key or token is incorrect or expired.
- Validation errors from the API about missing required fields indicate that the "Indicator Type Name" was not properly set.
- Timeout or network errors suggest connectivity problems; verify internet access and API endpoint availability.
