Overview

This node integrates with the Kobana API to manage payment batches, specifically allowing users to create new payment batches. It is useful in scenarios where you need to automate the creation of payment batches for processing multiple payments together, such as payroll disbursements, bulk vendor payments, or utility bill payments.

For example, a finance team could use this node to programmatically create a batch of payments to suppliers every month, ensuring all payments are grouped and processed efficiently.

Properties

Name Meaning
Request Body The JSON object representing the details of the payment batch to be created. This must include all required fields as per the Kobana API specification for creating a payment batch.
Additional Fields A JSON object containing any extra optional fields that can be included in the request to customize the batch creation further.

Output

The node outputs the JSON response returned by the Kobana API after creating the payment batch. This typically includes details about the newly created batch such as its unique identifier, status, creation timestamp, and any other metadata provided by the API.

If the API supports binary data output (not indicated here), it would be summarized accordingly, but in this case, the output is purely JSON.

Dependencies

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

Troubleshooting

  • Invalid JSON in Request Body: If the JSON provided in the "Request Body" or "Additional Fields" is malformed, the node will throw a parsing error. Ensure valid JSON syntax.
  • API Authentication Errors: If the API key or credentials are invalid or missing, the node will fail to authenticate. Verify the Kobana API credentials in n8n.
  • Missing Required Fields: The Kobana API may reject requests missing mandatory fields in the batch creation payload. Consult the Kobana API documentation to ensure all required fields are included.
  • Network Issues: Connectivity problems to the Kobana API endpoints can cause timeouts or failures. Check network access and endpoint availability.
  • Continue On Fail Behavior: If enabled, the node will continue processing subsequent items even if one fails, returning error details in the output JSON.
