Overview
This node enables updating project data within a Pulse project management environment via the Pulse API. Specifically, the "Update Project Data" operation allows users to modify existing key-value pairs associated with a project, including changing the data's label. This is useful for maintaining accurate and up-to-date metadata or custom information linked to projects.
Common scenarios include:
- Updating configuration parameters stored as project data.
- Modifying labels or values of project-specific settings.
- Adjusting project metadata dynamically based on workflow conditions.
For example, if a project has a data entry with a key representing a deadline or status, this node can update that value programmatically during an automation workflow.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Data ID * | The unique identifier of the project data entry to update. |
| Key * | The key name of the data entry to update. |
| Value * | The new value to assign to the specified key. |
| Label * | The label describing the data entry, which can be updated alongside the key and value. |
(* indicates required fields)
Output
The node outputs JSON data representing the updated project data object returned from the Pulse API. This typically includes the updated key, value, label, and any other metadata related to the project data entry.
No binary data output is produced by this operation.
Dependencies
- Requires an active connection to the Pulse API using an API authentication token configured in n8n credentials.
- The node depends on the Pulse API helper utilities bundled within the node package to perform authenticated requests.
- Proper permissions on the Pulse project are necessary to update project data entries.
Troubleshooting
Common Issues:
- Invalid or missing Data ID: Ensure the Data ID corresponds to an existing project data entry.
- Insufficient permissions: Verify that the API token used has rights to update project data.
- Network or API errors: Check connectivity and Pulse API service status.
Error Messages:
"The operation "updateProjectData" is not supported for resource "projectData"!"
This indicates a misconfiguration of the operation or resource; confirm correct selection.- Errors containing
"error"in the output JSON indicate issues caught during execution; review the error message for details.
To resolve errors, verify input parameters, API credentials, and network connectivity.
