Overview

This node integrates with the Pulse API to manage office-related data, specifically allowing users to create, update, retrieve, and delete various resources such as employees, announcements, holidays, leave requests, and planning entries. Focusing on the Holiday - Create Holiday operation, this node enables users to add new holiday entries into their organizational system.

Typical use cases include automating the addition of company-wide or department-specific holidays into a calendar system, ensuring that scheduling and planning tools reflect official non-working days. For example, HR teams can automate the creation of public holidays or special organizational holidays without manual entry, improving accuracy and saving time.

Troubleshooting

  • Common Issues:

    • Missing required properties (name, date, or organizational_unit) will cause the operation to fail.
    • Incorrect date format may lead to API rejection; ensure the date is in valid ISO 8601 format.
    • Invalid or expired API credentials will result in authentication errors.
    • Specifying an organizational unit that does not exist or is not recognized by the Pulse system may cause errors.

  • Error Messages:

    • "Unknown operation: "createHoliday" is not supported for resource "holiday"!" — Indicates a mismatch in operation or resource parameters; verify correct selection.
    • API error messages related to authorization or validation will be passed through; check API key validity and input correctness.

  • Resolution Tips:

    • Verify API credentials and permissions.
    • Consult Pulse API documentation for valid organizational units and date formats.
