Overview
This node provides integration with the Flowyteam API, allowing users to manage various business resources such as KPI data, projects, tasks, employees, and more. Specifically, for the KPI Data resource with the Update operation, the node updates existing KPI data records by specifying key details like the indicator ID, period key, current value, target value, and remarks.
This is useful in scenarios where you need to programmatically update performance metrics or key performance indicators (KPIs) within your organization's system. For example, after calculating new KPI values for a given period, you can use this node to update those values automatically without manual entry.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Indicator ID | The unique identifier of the KPI indicator to update. |
| Period Key | The specific period (e.g., month, quarter) for which the KPI data applies. |
| Current Value | The current measured value of the KPI for the specified period. |
| Target Value | The target or goal value set for the KPI for the specified period. |
| Remark | Additional comments or notes related to the KPI data record being updated. |
Output
The node outputs JSON data representing the updated KPI data record. This typically includes the updated fields such as indicator ID, period key, current value, target value, remark, and possibly metadata about the update operation (timestamps, status, etc.).
No binary data output is involved in this operation.
Dependencies
- Requires an active connection to the Flowyteam API.
- Needs an API authentication token or API key credential configured in n8n to authorize requests.
- The node depends on the Flowyteam API endpoints for managing KPI data.
Troubleshooting
Common Issues:
- Invalid or missing required properties (e.g., Indicator ID or Period Key) will cause the update to fail.
- Authentication errors if the API key or token is not correctly configured.
- Network connectivity issues preventing access to the Flowyteam API.
- Attempting to update a non-existent KPI data record may result in an error.
Error Messages & Resolutions:
- "The operation 'update' is not supported for KPI Data resource": Ensure that the resource and operation parameters are correctly set.
- Authentication failed: Verify that the API credentials are valid and have sufficient permissions.
- Record not found: Confirm that the Indicator ID and Period Key correspond to an existing KPI data record.
- Validation errors: Check that all required fields are provided and formatted correctly.
