Overview
The node interacts with the Magic Dash feature of a service, specifically allowing updating of existing Magic Dash Items. The update operation modifies an item identified by a combination of company name and title, changing its message, content, and optionally other attributes such as icon or image URL.
This node is useful in scenarios where you want to programmatically maintain or refresh dashboard items that display important messages, rich HTML content, or media related to specific companies. For example, you could automate updates to status dashboards, announcements, or visual reports shown on a Magic Dash interface.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Message | The primary text content displayed on the Magic Dash Item. |
| Company Name | The company name used to identify which company's Magic Dash Item to update. |
| Title | The title used alongside the company name to uniquely match the Magic Dash Item to update. |
| Content | Rich HTML content (tables, images, videos, etc.) to be displayed inside the Magic Dash Item. |
| Additional Fields | Optional extra fields to customize the Magic Dash Item: |
| - Company Name or ID | Select or specify the company by name or ID for the item. |
| - Content Link | A URL linking to an external website related to the Magic Dash Item's content. |
| - Icon | Font Awesome icon code to visually represent the item (e.g., "fa-home"). |
| - Image URL | URL of an image to show in the header of the Magic Dash Item. |
| - Shade | Color shade setting for the Magic Dash Item's appearance. |
Output
The node outputs JSON data representing the updated Magic Dash Item(s). Each output item corresponds to one input item processed and includes the updated properties of the Magic Dash Item after the operation.
If multiple items are processed, the output is an array of JSON objects, each paired with the respective input item index.
No binary data output is indicated.
Dependencies
- Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the Hudu REST API.
- The base URL for the API must be configured in the node credentials.
- Uses internal methods to load options dynamically, e.g., company lists.
- No additional external dependencies beyond the authenticated API access.
Troubleshooting
Common issues:
- Incorrect or missing company name or title may cause the update to fail because the item cannot be matched.
- Invalid HTML content or malformed URLs in content or image fields might cause unexpected rendering issues downstream.
- Missing or invalid API credentials will prevent any operation from succeeding.
Error messages:
"The resource "magic_dash" is not known!"— indicates the resource parameter was set incorrectly.- API errors returned from the server (e.g., 404 Not Found if the item does not exist) should be checked by reviewing the company name and title inputs.
Resolutions:
- Verify that the company name and title exactly match an existing Magic Dash Item.
- Ensure all required fields are provided and valid.
- Confirm API credentials and base URL are correctly configured in n8n.
