Pulse Talent

Talent resource from Pulse API

Overview

This node interacts with a talent management API to manage certifications associated with talents. Specifically, the "Add Certification" operation allows users to add a new certification record for a specified talent. This is useful in HR, recruitment, or talent development workflows where tracking professional certifications is important.

Practical examples include:

  • Automatically adding newly obtained certifications to a candidate's profile after verification.
  • Integrating certification data from external learning platforms into a centralized talent database.
  • Keeping talent profiles up-to-date with their latest qualifications for better matching and reporting.

Properties

Name Meaning
Talent ID * The unique identifier of the talent to whom the certification will be linked.
Certification Name * The official name/title of the certification being added.
Organization * The issuing organization or authority that granted the certification.
Certificate URL * A URL linking to the certificate or proof of certification (e.g., digital badge or PDF).
Obtention Date * The date when the certification was obtained by the talent.

(* indicates required fields)

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the result of the certification creation operation. This typically includes details of the newly created certification record such as its ID, associated talent ID, certification name, issuing organization, URL, and obtention date.

No binary data output is involved in this operation.

Dependencies

  • Requires an active connection to the Pulse API service via an API key credential configured in n8n.
  • The node depends on the Pulse API helper utilities bundled within the node's codebase to perform authenticated requests.
  • Proper configuration of the API credentials in n8n is necessary for successful execution.

Troubleshooting

  • Common issues:

    • Missing or invalid Talent ID can cause the API to reject the request.
    • Incorrect or malformed URLs for the certificate may lead to validation errors.
    • Network or authentication failures if the API key is missing, expired, or incorrect.
  • Error messages:

    • "The operation "createCertification" is not supported for resource "certification"!" — indicates a misconfiguration or unsupported operation; verify the selected operation and resource.
    • API error responses related to invalid input data will be returned in the node output; ensure all required fields are correctly filled.
  • Resolution tips:

    • Double-check all required properties before running the node.
    • Ensure the API key credential is valid and has sufficient permissions.
    • Validate URLs and dates conform to expected formats.
