Hudu

Overview

This node interacts with the Magic Dash resource of the Hudu API, specifically supporting operations such as deleting a Magic Dash item by its ID. The "Delete By ID" operation allows users to remove a specific Magic Dash entry from their Hudu instance by providing its unique identifier.

Common scenarios for this node include automating cleanup tasks, managing Magic Dash entries programmatically, or integrating deletion workflows into larger automation processes where Magic Dash items need to be removed based on certain triggers or conditions.

For example, you might use this node to automatically delete outdated Magic Dash items when a related asset is archived or removed, ensuring your Hudu data stays current without manual intervention.

Properties

Output

The node outputs a JSON array containing the result of the delete operation for each input item processed. Each output item corresponds to an input item and includes the response from the API after attempting to delete the specified Magic Dash item.

• The json output field typically contains confirmation details or status information returned by the Hudu API about the deletion.
• There is no indication that this node outputs binary data.

Dependencies

• Requires an active connection to the Hudu REST API.
• Needs an API key credential configured in n8n to authenticate requests.
• The base URL for the Hudu API must be set in the node credentials.
• No other external services or environment variables are explicitly required.

Troubleshooting

• Common Issues:

  • Providing an invalid or non-existent Magic Dash ID will likely cause the API to return an error indicating the item was not found.
  • Missing or incorrect API authentication credentials will result in authorization errors.
  • Network connectivity issues can prevent successful communication with the Hudu API.

• Error Messages:

  • Errors thrown by the node will include messages from the Hudu API or internal node errors.
  • If the resource or operation parameters are incorrect or unsupported, the node throws an error stating the resource is unknown.
  • To resolve errors, verify the Magic Dash ID exists, ensure valid API credentials are used, and check network connectivity.

• The node supports continuing on failure if enabled, allowing workflows to proceed even if some deletions fail.
