Pulse Talent

Talent resource from Pulse API

Actions32

Overview

The node provides integration with a talent management API, specifically allowing operations on various talent-related resources. For the Update Experience operation under the Experience resource, it updates an existing experience entry associated with a talent profile. This is useful for maintaining up-to-date records of a person's professional history within a talent database.

Common scenarios include:

  • Updating job position details after a promotion or role change.
  • Correcting or adding missing information about past work experiences.
  • Keeping track of ongoing roles by updating end dates or summaries.

Practical example: A recruiter automates updating candidate profiles in their system whenever new experience data is received from external sources, ensuring the talent database reflects the latest career developments.

(* indicates required fields)

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the updated experience entry as returned by the talent management API. This typically includes all relevant fields of the experience record such as IDs, organization, position, dates, and summary.

If the API supports binary data (not indicated here), it would be summarized accordingly, but this operation primarily deals with structured JSON data.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the Pulse talent management API.
  • The node depends on the Pulse API helper utilities bundled within the node's codebase.
  • Proper configuration of the API credentials in n8n is necessary for successful execution.

Troubleshooting

  • Common issues:

    • Missing required properties like Talent ID or Experience ID will cause errors.
    • Invalid or expired API credentials will result in authentication failures.
    • Providing invalid date formats may cause the API to reject the request.

  • Error messages:

    • "The operation "updateExperience" is not supported for resource "experience"!" — indicates a misconfiguration or unsupported operation.
    • API error responses are passed through; check the message for details such as "Not Found" if the Experience ID does not exist.

  • Resolutions:

    • Ensure all required fields are provided and correctly formatted.
    • Verify API credentials and permissions.
    • Confirm that the Experience ID corresponds to an existing record.
