Overview
This node interacts with the HAP (Hyper Application Platform) API, specifically focusing on managing workflows when the "Workflow" resource is selected. The "Get" operation under this resource retrieves detailed information about a specific workflow process by its ID.
Typical use cases include:
- Fetching metadata or configuration details of a particular workflow in an automation system.
- Integrating workflow data retrieval into larger automation pipelines for monitoring or reporting.
- Triggering conditional logic based on workflow properties fetched dynamically.
For example, you might use this node to get the current status or settings of a workflow before deciding whether to trigger it or update related records.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Process ID | The ID of the workflow process to retrieve. This is a required string input identifying which workflow's details to fetch. |
Output
The node outputs JSON data representing the detailed information of the specified workflow process. This typically includes all relevant fields returned by the HAP API for a workflow, such as its configuration, status, triggers, and metadata.
If the node supports binary data output (not indicated here), it would represent any associated files or attachments related to the workflow, but this is not evident from the provided code.
Dependencies
- Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the HAP API.
- The node expects the HAP API endpoint to be accessible and properly configured within n8n.
- No additional external dependencies are indicated beyond the HAP API service.
Troubleshooting
- Missing or invalid Process ID: Since the Process ID is required, ensure it is provided and correctly formatted. Errors may occur if this is empty or incorrect.
- Authentication errors: If the API key credential is missing or invalid, the node will fail to authenticate with the HAP API.
- Network issues: Connectivity problems to the HAP API endpoint can cause request failures.
- API response errors: If the specified workflow ID does not exist or the user lacks permissions, the API may return errors that should be handled gracefully.
To resolve these:
- Double-check the Process ID value.
- Verify the API key credential is set up and valid.
- Ensure network connectivity to the HAP API.
- Confirm the workflow exists and the authenticated user has access rights.
