Overview
This node integrates with the Flowyteam API to manage various resources related to organizational and project management. Specifically, for the Task Category resource with the Update operation, it allows users to update the details of an existing task category by specifying its ID and new name.
Common scenarios where this node is beneficial include:
- Renaming a task category to better reflect changes in project structure or terminology.
- Maintaining consistent naming conventions across task categories in a project management system.
- Automating updates to task categories as part of larger workflow automations involving project or task management.
For example, if a team decides to rename the "Bug Fixes" category to "Defects," this node can be used to update that category's name programmatically within an automation workflow.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Category ID | The unique identifier of the task category to update (required). |
| Update Category Name | The new name to assign to the specified task category. |
Output
The node outputs JSON data representing the updated task category object returned from the Flowyteam API after the update operation. This typically includes fields such as the category ID, updated name, and possibly other metadata related to the task category.
No binary data output is involved in this operation.
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 task category management.
Troubleshooting
- Invalid Category ID: If the provided Category ID does not exist or is incorrect, the API will likely return an error indicating the category was not found. Verify the ID before running the update.
- Missing Required Fields: The Category ID is required; omitting it will cause the node to fail. Ensure all required properties are set.
- API Authentication Errors: If the API key or token is invalid or expired, authentication errors will occur. Check and refresh credentials as needed.
- Network Issues: Connectivity problems may cause timeouts or failures. Confirm network access to the Flowyteam API endpoint.
- Permission Denied: The API user must have permission to update task categories. Lack of permissions will result in authorization errors.
