Overview
The node interacts with the Pulse API to manage and retrieve data related to talent resources, including certifications. Specifically, the "Get Certification List" operation fetches a list of certifications from the Pulse system. This is useful for scenarios where you want to integrate certification data into workflows, such as syncing certifications with HR systems, generating reports on employee qualifications, or filtering talent based on their certifications.
Practical examples:
- Automatically retrieving all certifications held by employees to update an internal database.
- Filtering certifications by organization or other criteria to generate compliance reports.
- Including related talent information alongside certifications for enriched data analysis.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Include Related Resources | Select related resources to include in the response. Currently supports: Talent |
| Additional Fields | Optional fields to customize the request: |
| - Sort | Sort order of the results, e.g., "-relevance" |
| - Page Number | Pagination page number (requires page size) |
| - Page Size | Number of items per page |
| - Filters | One or more filters to narrow down the results. Each filter has a key and comma-separated values. |
| - Fields | Specify which fields to return for certain field groups, using keys and comma-separated field names. |
Output
The output is a JSON object containing the list of certifications retrieved from the Pulse API. The structure typically includes certification details such as IDs, names, issuing organizations, dates, and any included related resources like talent information if requested.
If binary data were involved (not indicated here), it would represent files or attachments related to certifications, but this operation focuses on JSON data only.
Dependencies
- Requires connection to the Pulse API via an API helper instantiated internally.
- Needs an API authentication token or API key credential configured in n8n to authorize requests to the Pulse API.
- No additional external dependencies are indicated.
Troubleshooting
- Common issues:
- Incorrect or missing API credentials will cause authentication failures.
- Providing invalid filter keys or values may result in empty responses or errors.
- Pagination parameters must be used correctly; specifying a page number without a page size might not work as expected.
- Error messages:
"The operation "getCertificationList" is not supported for resource "certification"!"indicates a misconfiguration or typo in operation/resource selection.- Network or API errors will propagate from the Pulse API; ensure network connectivity and valid API endpoint configuration.
- To resolve errors, verify API credentials, check property inputs for correctness, and consult Pulse API documentation for valid filter keys and parameters.
