Interact with Kobana API - Quick access to common operations

Actions215

Overview

This node integrates with the Kobana API to manage SMS deliveries, specifically supporting the update operation for SMS delivery resources in version 1 of the API. It allows users to update existing SMS delivery records by specifying the resource ID and providing a JSON request body with the fields to be updated.

Common scenarios where this node is beneficial include:

  • Modifying the content or status of an SMS delivery after it has been created.
  • Correcting or adding additional information to an SMS delivery record.
  • Automating updates to SMS deliveries as part of larger workflows involving customer communications.

For example, you might use this node to update the message text or delivery parameters of an SMS that was previously sent or scheduled.

Properties

Name Meaning
ID The unique identifier of the SMS delivery resource to update.
Additional Fields A JSON object containing any extra fields to include in the update request (optional).
Request Body The main JSON payload describing the fields and values to update on the SMS delivery.

Output

The node outputs the JSON response returned by the Kobana API after performing the update operation on the SMS delivery resource. This typically includes the updated SMS delivery data such as its ID, status, content, timestamps, and any other relevant metadata.

If the API returns binary data (not typical for this operation), it would represent associated files or attachments related to the SMS delivery, but this node primarily deals with JSON data.

Dependencies

  • Requires an active Kobana API credential configured in n8n for authentication.
  • The node dynamically selects the API base URL depending on whether the environment is production or sandbox.
  • No additional external dependencies are required beyond the Kobana API access.

Troubleshooting

  • Invalid ID Error: If the provided ID does not correspond to an existing SMS delivery, the API will return an error. Verify the ID is correct.
  • Malformed JSON in Request Body: Ensure the JSON provided in the "Request Body" field is valid and correctly formatted.
  • Authentication Failures: Confirm that the Kobana API credentials are correctly set up and have sufficient permissions.
  • API Rate Limits: Frequent updates may hit API rate limits; consider adding delays or handling retries.
  • Unexpected API Errors: Check the exact error message returned in the output JSON for clues and consult Kobana API documentation.
