Overview
This node provides integration with the Flowyteam API, allowing users to manage various resources such as tasks, projects, employees, and specifically for this case, task categories. The "Delete" operation on the "Task Category" resource enables users to remove a specific task category by its ID. This is useful in scenarios where task categories are no longer needed or were created erroneously, helping keep the task management system organized and up-to-date.
Practical example: If a project team decides to retire a certain category of tasks (e.g., "Obsolete Tasks"), this node can be used to delete that category from the system programmatically within an automation workflow.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Category ID | The ID of the task category to delete. |
Output
The output of the node after performing the delete operation will be a JSON object representing the result of the deletion request. Typically, this might include confirmation of successful deletion or details about the deleted category. The exact structure depends on the Flowyteam API response but generally confirms the action was completed.
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 under the node's credentials.
- The node relies on the Flowyteam API endpoints for task category management.
Troubleshooting
Common issues:
- Providing an invalid or non-existent Category ID will likely cause the API to return an error indicating the category could not be found.
- Missing or incorrect API credentials will result in authentication errors.
- Network connectivity issues may prevent the node from reaching the Flowyteam API.
Error messages:
- "The operation 'delete' is not supported for Task Category resource" — This would occur if the operation parameter is incorrectly set; ensure "delete" is selected.
- Authentication errors — Verify that the API key or token is correctly configured and has sufficient permissions.
- Category not found — Check that the Category ID provided exists in the Flowyteam system.
Links and References
- Flowyteam API documentation (for task category endpoints) — consult the official API docs for detailed information on the delete endpoint and expected responses.
