IT Glue

Utilize the IT Glue API

Overview

This node integrates with the IT Glue API to perform bulk updates on password records. It allows users to update multiple passwords in a single operation by specifying details such as name, notes, organization ID, password value, category, associated resource information, URL, and username.

Common scenarios include:

  • Updating several password entries at once after a security audit.
  • Modifying metadata or credentials for multiple passwords linked to different resources.
  • Synchronizing password information across an organization efficiently.

Practical example:
A user wants to update the usernames and URLs of several stored passwords related to various services within their organization. Instead of updating each password individually, they can use this bulk update operation to apply all changes in one request.

Properties

Name Meaning
Updates A collection of password updates to apply. Each update includes:
- Password ID The unique identifier of the password to update (required).
- Name The new name for the password.
- Notes Additional notes or comments about the password.
- Organization ID The ID of the organization the password belongs to.
- Password The actual password value (hidden input).
- Password Category ID The ID of the category this password falls under (hidden input).
- Resource ID The ID of the resource associated with this password.
- Resource Type The type/category of the associated resource.
- URL The URL related to the password entry.
- Username The username linked to the password.

The "Updates" property supports multiple values, allowing batch processing of many password updates simultaneously.

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the result of the bulk update operation. This typically includes confirmation of updated password records, possibly with their updated fields or status messages from the IT Glue API.

No binary data output is involved in this operation.

Dependencies

  • Requires an active connection to the IT Glue API via an API key credential configured in n8n.
  • The node uses the IT Glue REST API endpoints for password management.
  • Proper permissions on the IT Glue account are necessary to update password records.

Troubleshooting

  • Missing Required Fields: If the Password ID is not provided for any update item, the operation will fail. Ensure every update includes the required ID.
  • Authentication Errors: Invalid or expired API keys will cause authentication failures. Verify that the API key credential is correctly set up and has sufficient permissions.
  • Invalid Field Values: Providing incorrect IDs (e.g., non-existent organization or category IDs) may result in errors from the API. Double-check all referenced IDs.
  • Partial Failures: If some updates fail while others succeed, review the error messages returned for each failed item to correct issues individually.
  • API Rate Limits: Bulk operations might hit API rate limits if too many requests are made in a short time. Consider splitting large batches into smaller chunks.
