Overview
This node is designed to create a new Tag within the connected service. It allows users to specify a tag's name and an optional description, which can be useful for organizing or categorizing items in the external system. Typical use cases include tagging contacts, leads, or other entities to facilitate segmentation, filtering, or targeted actions.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Name | The name of the tag to be created (required). |
| Description | An optional description providing more details about the tag. |
Output
The node outputs JSON data representing the newly created tag. This typically includes the tag's unique identifier, name, description, and possibly metadata such as creation timestamps. No binary data output is expected from this operation.
Dependencies
- Requires an API key credential or similar authentication token configured in n8n to connect to the external service.
- Depends on internal methods and routing logic defined in bundled dependencies (
methods,actions/node.description,actions/router), which handle API communication and execution flow.
Troubleshooting
- Missing required "Name" property: The node requires the tag name to create a tag. Ensure this field is filled.
- Authentication errors: Verify that the API key or authentication credentials are correctly set up and have sufficient permissions.
- API rate limits or connectivity issues: Network problems or service limits may cause failures; check network connectivity and API usage quotas.
- Unexpected response structure: If the external service changes its API, the node might fail to parse responses correctly.
Links and References
- Refer to the external service’s API documentation for detailed information on tag creation endpoints and parameters.
- Consult n8n documentation on how to configure API credentials and use custom nodes.
