Overview
This node interacts with the GetTranscribe API, specifically allowing management of folders used to organize transcriptions. The "Update Folder" operation lets users modify an existing folder's name and/or its parent folder, effectively enabling renaming and reorganizing folder hierarchy.
Common scenarios include:
- Renaming a folder to better reflect its contents.
- Moving a folder to a different parent folder or to the root level to restructure transcription organization.
Practical example:
- You have a folder named "Project A" but want to rename it to "Project Alpha".
- You want to move the folder "Project Alpha" under a new parent folder called "2024 Projects".
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Folder ID | The unique numeric identifier of the folder you want to update (required). |
| Folder Name | The new name for the folder. If omitted, the folder name remains unchanged. |
| Parent Folder ID | The new parent folder's ID to move this folder under. Use null to move it to root level. |
Output
The node outputs JSON data representing the updated folder object as returned by the GetTranscribe API. This typically includes fields such as the folder's ID, name, parent folder ID, creation date, and other metadata.
No binary data output is produced by this operation.
Dependencies
- Requires an active API key credential for the GetTranscribe service configured in n8n.
- The node makes authenticated HTTP requests to the GetTranscribe API endpoint at
https://api.gettranscribe.ai. - Proper network connectivity to the API endpoint is necessary.
