Pulse Talent

Talent resource from Pulse API

Actions32

Overview

This node interacts with the "Skill" resource of a talent management system via the Pulse API. Specifically, the Update Skill operation allows users to modify an existing skill associated with a particular talent. This is useful in scenarios where you need to keep a talent's skill set up-to-date, such as updating proficiency levels or correcting skill names.

Practical examples include:

  • Updating a software developer’s skill level in JavaScript from 3 to 4.
  • Correcting a typo in a skill name for a marketing professional.
  • Adjusting skill details after a talent completes a training program.

Properties

Name Meaning
Talent ID * The unique identifier of the talent whose skill you want to update.
Skill ID * The unique identifier of the skill that needs to be updated.
Skill Name * The new or corrected name of the skill.
Skill Level * The proficiency level of the skill, ranging from 1 (lowest) to 5 (highest).

(* indicates required fields)

Output

The node outputs a JSON object representing the updated skill data as returned by the Pulse API. This typically includes the updated skill attributes such as its ID, name, level, and association with the talent.

No binary data output is involved in this operation.

Dependencies

  • Requires an active connection to the Pulse API 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 network access to the Pulse API endpoint is necessary.

Troubleshooting

  • Common Issues:

    • Invalid or missing Talent ID or Skill ID will cause the update to fail.
    • Providing a skill level outside the allowed range (1-5) may result in validation errors.
    • Network connectivity issues can prevent communication with the Pulse API.
    • Insufficient permissions or invalid API credentials will lead to authentication errors.

  • Error Messages:

    • "The operation "updateSkill" is not supported for resource "skill"!" — Indicates a misconfiguration in the operation or resource selection.
    • API error messages related to invalid IDs or unauthorized access should be checked against the provided input and credentials.

  • Resolution Tips:

    • Double-check that all required fields are correctly filled.
    • Ensure the API key credential is valid and has appropriate permissions.
    • Verify that the Talent ID and Skill ID exist in the Pulse system.
    • Confirm that the skill level is within the accepted range (1 to 5).
