Overview

The node provides integration with the Flowyteam API, allowing users to manage various resources related to organizational and project management. Specifically for the Project Category resource with the Get Many operation, this node fetches multiple project categories from the Flowyteam system.

This operation is useful when you want to retrieve a list of project categories for reporting, filtering projects by category, or synchronizing project category data with other systems. For example, a project manager might use this node to get all available project categories to populate a dropdown in a project creation form or to analyze how many projects fall under each category.

Properties

Name Meaning
Limit Max number of results to return (minimum 1). Controls pagination size.
Page Page number for pagination. Allows fetching subsequent pages of results.
Search Search term to filter items by matching text.
Simplify Whether to return simplified response data or raw API response.
Sort Direction Direction to sort the results: "Ascending" or "Descending".
Sort Field Field to sort by: "ID" or "Category Name".

Output

The output contains JSON data representing the retrieved project categories. Depending on the Simplify property, the output can be either:

  • A simplified array of project category objects with essential fields for easier consumption.
  • The raw API response containing full details as returned by the Flowyteam API.

No binary data output is involved in this operation.

Dependencies

  • Requires an active connection to the Flowyteam API via an API key credential configured in n8n.
  • The node depends on the Flowyteam API endpoints for project categories.
  • Proper network access and valid authentication credentials are necessary.

Troubleshooting

  • Common Issues:

    • Invalid or missing API credentials will cause authentication failures.
    • Network connectivity problems may prevent reaching the Flowyteam API.
    • Requesting a page number beyond available data returns empty results.
    • Using unsupported sort fields or directions may cause errors or unexpected sorting.

  • Error Messages:

    • Authentication errors typically indicate invalid API keys; verify and update credentials.
    • Pagination errors may occur if the Page or Limit parameters are out of range; adjust accordingly.
    • If the node throws an error about unsupported operations, ensure the Resource is set to "Project Category" and Operation to "Get Many".
