Pulse Workflow

Overview

This node integrates with the Pulse API to perform workflow actions related to project work units, specifically including the ability to cancel a project work unit. It is useful in scenarios where you need to programmatically manage work units within projects, such as stopping or cancelling ongoing tasks or assignments tracked in Pulse.

For example, if a project manager wants to cancel a specific work unit due to changes in project scope or resource allocation, this node can be used to automate that cancellation process within an n8n workflow.

Properties

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the result of the cancellation operation on the specified project work unit. This typically includes confirmation details or status information returned by the Pulse API about the cancelled work unit.

No binary data output is involved in this operation.

Dependencies

• Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the Pulse API.
• The node depends on the Pulse API service being accessible and properly configured.
• No additional environment variables are explicitly required beyond the API authentication setup.

Troubleshooting

• Common issues:

  • Invalid or missing Work Unit ID will cause the operation to fail.
  • Network or authentication errors when connecting to the Pulse API.
  • Attempting to cancel a work unit that does not exist or is already completed may result in errors.

• Error messages:

  • "The operation "cancelProjectWorkUnit" is not supported for resource "projectWorkUnits"!" — indicates a misconfiguration or unsupported operation; ensure the correct resource and operation are selected.
  • Errors related to API authentication failure suggest checking the provided API key credentials.
  • If the node throws an error about the work unit ID, verify that the ID is correct and exists in the Pulse system.
