Overview

This node interacts with a project management API to retrieve various indicators related to projects. Specifically, the "Show project indicators" operation fetches indicator data for a specified project over a defined time period. This is useful for monitoring project performance metrics such as progress, resource usage, or other custom indicators tracked by the system.

Common scenarios include:

  • Generating reports on project health and status over daily, weekly, monthly, or quarterly periods.
  • Filtering indicators by specific criteria like member accounts or custom selectors to analyze subsets of project data.
  • Integrating project indicator data into dashboards or automated workflows for real-time monitoring.

For example, a project manager could use this node to pull monthly productivity indicators for a project to assess team performance and adjust resources accordingly.

Properties

Name Meaning
Project ID * The unique identifier of the project to retrieve indicators for.
Period * The time interval for which to get indicators. Options: Daily, Weekly, Monthly, Quarterly.
Indicator Name * The specific indicator to retrieve (e.g., progress, budget usage). Loaded dynamically based on project.
From * The start date/time of the period to fetch indicators from.
To * The end date/time of the period to fetch indicators until.
Additional Filters Optional filters to narrow down the indicator data:
- Selector A filter selector loaded dynamically based on project and indicator name.
- Member Account ID Filter indicators by a specific member account ID.

(* indicates required fields)

Output

The node outputs JSON data containing the requested project indicators within the specified period and filters. The structure typically includes:

  • Indicator values keyed by date or period segment.
  • Metadata about the indicator such as name and description.
  • Possibly aggregated or raw data points depending on the API response.

No binary data output is indicated for this operation.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the Pulse API service.
  • The node depends on dynamic loading methods to populate options for indicators and selectors based on the selected project.
  • Proper configuration of the API credentials in n8n is necessary for successful requests.

Troubleshooting

  • Common issues:

    • Invalid or missing Project ID will cause errors fetching indicators.
    • Date range ("From" and "To") must be valid ISO date strings; invalid dates may cause request failures.
    • Selecting an indicator name before choosing a project may result in empty option lists due to dependency on project context.
    • Network or authentication errors if API credentials are misconfigured or expired.

  • Error messages:

    • "The operation "getProjectIndicator" is not supported for resource "projectIndicators"!" — indicates a mismatch in operation/resource selection.
    • API errors returned in JSON under error field when continueOnFail is enabled.

  • Resolutions:

    • Verify all required fields are filled correctly.
    • Ensure API credentials are valid and have sufficient permissions.
    • Check date formats and logical ranges.
    • Reload indicator options after selecting a project to ensure correct dependencies.
