Overview
The node provides integration with the Flowyteam API, allowing users to manage various resources related to workforce and project management. Specifically, for the KPI Category resource with the Update operation, this node updates an existing KPI category by its ID. This is useful in scenarios where you need to modify the details of a KPI category, such as changing its indicator type name or other attributes.
Practical examples include:
- Updating the name or description of a KPI category to reflect changes in business goals.
- Modifying the indicator type associated with a KPI category to align with new performance measurement standards.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| KPI Category ID | The unique identifier of the KPI category to update (required). |
| Indicator Type Name | The new name of the indicator type associated with the KPI category (required). |
Output
The node outputs JSON data representing the updated KPI category object returned from the Flowyteam API. This typically includes fields such as the KPI category's ID, name, indicator type, and any other metadata provided by the API after the update operation.
No binary data output is involved.
Dependencies
- Requires an active connection to the Flowyteam API.
- Requires an API authentication token or API key credential configured in n8n to authorize requests.
- The node depends on the Flowyteam API endpoints for KPI category management.
Troubleshooting
- Invalid KPI Category ID: If the provided KPI Category ID does not exist or is incorrect, the API will likely return an error indicating that the resource was not found. Verify the ID before running the node.
- Missing Required Fields: Both the KPI Category ID and Indicator Type Name are required. Omitting either will cause the node to fail validation or the API to reject the request.
- Authentication Errors: Ensure that the API credentials are correctly set up and have sufficient permissions to update KPI categories.
- API Rate Limits or Downtime: If the Flowyteam API is unreachable or rate-limited, the node will throw errors. Check network connectivity and API status.
