Flowyteam

Custom node for Flowyteam API

Actions101

Overview

The node provides integration with the Flowyteam API to manage various resources related to organizational and project management. Specifically, for the Project Category resource with the Update operation, it allows users to update the details of an existing project category by specifying its ID and new name.

This node is beneficial in scenarios where project categories need to be maintained dynamically within workflows, such as updating category names to reflect changes in project structuring or correcting naming errors without manual intervention in the Flowyteam system.

Example use case:
A project manager automates the renaming of a project category after a reorganization, ensuring all projects linked to that category remain consistent with the updated naming convention.

Properties

Name Meaning
Category ID The unique identifier of the project category to update (required).
Update Category Name The new name to assign to the specified project category.

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the updated project category object returned from the Flowyteam API. This typically includes fields such as the category's ID, updated name, and possibly other metadata related to the project category.

No binary data output is involved in this operation.

Dependencies

  • Requires an active connection to the Flowyteam API.
  • Requires an API authentication token credential configured in n8n to authorize requests.
  • The node depends on the Flowyteam API endpoints for project category updates.

Troubleshooting

  • Common issues:

    • Invalid or missing Category ID: The API will reject requests if the category ID does not exist or is not provided.
    • Insufficient permissions: The API key used must have rights to update project categories.
    • Network or API downtime: Connectivity issues can cause failures.
  • Error messages:

    • "The operation 'update' is not supported for Project Category resource": This indicates a misconfiguration or unsupported operation; ensure the correct resource and operation are selected.
    • API error responses indicating invalid input or authorization failure should be checked and resolved by verifying credentials and input parameters.
