Overview

This node interacts with a talent management API to manage education records associated with talents. Specifically, the "Add Education" operation allows users to add an educational entry for a specific talent, including details such as the education name, institution, degree, and dates attended.

Common scenarios where this node is beneficial include:

  • Automating the process of updating talent profiles with new education credentials.
  • Integrating education data from external systems into a centralized talent database.
  • Maintaining up-to-date records of employee or candidate education history in HR workflows.

For example, when a new employee joins, their education details can be automatically added to their profile by providing the relevant information through this node.

Output

The node outputs a JSON object representing the newly created education record associated with the specified talent. This output typically includes all the input properties along with any additional metadata or identifiers assigned by the backend system.

No binary data output is involved in this operation.

Dependencies

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

Troubleshooting

  • Common Issues:

    • Missing required fields such as Talent ID or Education Name will cause errors.
    • Invalid date formats for start or end dates may result in API rejection.
    • Network or authentication failures due to incorrect API credentials.

  • Error Messages:

    • "The operation "createEducation" is not supported for resource "education"!" — Indicates a misconfiguration or unsupported operation; verify the selected operation and resource.
    • API error messages related to invalid input data should be checked against the property requirements.

  • Resolutions:

    • Ensure all required fields are provided and correctly formatted.
    • Verify API credentials and network connectivity.
    • Use the "continue on fail" option in n8n to handle errors gracefully during batch operations.
