KobanaInstall

Overview

This node integrates with the Kobana API to manage financial accounts and other related resources. Specifically, for the Financial > Accounts resource with the Update operation, it allows users to update details of an existing financial account by specifying its ID and providing the updated data in JSON format.

Common scenarios where this node is beneficial include:

• Automating updates to financial account information such as account names, descriptions, or settings.
• Integrating Kobana financial account management into broader workflows, e.g., updating account info after receiving new data from another system.
• Maintaining synchronized financial account records between Kobana and other platforms.

Example use case:

• A company wants to update the description or metadata of a financial account whenever certain conditions are met in their ERP system. This node can be used to send the update request automatically.

Properties

The Request Body must be provided as a valid JSON object describing the fields to update on the financial account.

Output

The node outputs the JSON response returned by the Kobana API after performing the update operation. This typically includes the updated financial account data reflecting the changes made.

• The output is structured as an array of JSON objects, each corresponding to an input item processed.
• If the update is successful, the JSON will contain the updated account details.
• In case of errors, the output may contain an error message within the JSON structure.

No binary data output is produced by this node.

Dependencies

• Requires an active Kobana API credential configured in n8n with appropriate permissions to update financial accounts.
• The node dynamically selects the API base URL depending on the environment (production or sandbox).
• No additional external dependencies beyond the Kobana API and its authentication.

Troubleshooting

• Invalid ID or missing ID: The update operation requires a valid financial account ID. Ensure the ID property is correctly set and corresponds to an existing account.
• Malformed JSON in Request Body: The request body must be valid JSON. Errors parsing this field will cause the node to fail. Validate JSON syntax before running.
• API Authentication Errors: If the API key or credentials are invalid or expired, the node will return authentication errors. Verify and refresh credentials as needed.
• Permission Denied: The API user must have permission to update financial accounts. Lack of permissions will result in authorization errors.
• Network or API Endpoint Issues: Connectivity problems or incorrect environment selection (sandbox vs production) can cause failures. Confirm network access and environment configuration.

If the node is set to continue on failure, errors will be returned as JSON objects with an error field instead of stopping execution.
