Hudu

Overview

This node interacts with the Magic Dash resource of the Hudu API, specifically supporting operations such as creating, updating, and deleting Magic Dash items. The Delete operation allows users to remove a Magic Dash item by matching it based on specific attributes like company name and title.

Typical use cases include automating the cleanup or management of Magic Dash entries within an organization's documentation or asset management system. For example, if a Magic Dash item is no longer relevant or was created in error, this node can programmatically delete it by specifying its identifying attributes.

Properties

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the result of the delete operation for each input item processed. Each output item corresponds to an input item and includes details about the success or failure of the deletion.

• The json output field contains the response from the API after attempting to delete the Magic Dash item.
• If the operation fails and "Continue On Fail" is enabled, the output will contain an error message describing the failure.
• There is no binary data output related to this operation.

Dependencies

• Requires an active connection to the Hudu REST API with appropriate authentication credentials (an API key or token).
• The base URL and API key must be configured in the node's credential settings.
• No additional external services are required beyond the Hudu API.

Troubleshooting

• Common Issues:

  • Incorrect or missing company name or title parameters will cause the deletion to fail because the node cannot find the matching Magic Dash item.
  • Network connectivity issues or invalid API credentials will prevent successful communication with the Hudu API.
  • Attempting to delete a non-existent Magic Dash item will typically return an error or no effect.

• Error Messages:

  • Errors indicating that the resource or operation is unknown suggest misconfiguration of the resource or operation parameters.
  • Authentication errors indicate invalid or missing API credentials.
  • Validation errors may occur if required properties (Company Name, Title) are empty or malformed.

• Resolution Tips:

  • Verify that the company name and title exactly match the Magic Dash item intended for deletion.
  • Ensure API credentials are correctly set up and have sufficient permissions.
  • Enable "Continue On Fail" to allow processing of multiple items even if some deletions fail, facilitating bulk operations.
