Overview

This node integrates with the HCSS Heavy Job API to retrieve detailed information about time cards, among other resources. Specifically, the "Get Time Card" operation fetches a single time card by its unique ID. This is useful in scenarios where you need to automate workflows involving employee time tracking, payroll processing, or project management by programmatically accessing time card data.

For example, you might use this node to:

  • Automatically pull time card details for a specific employee on a given day.
  • Integrate time card data into payroll systems or reporting dashboards.
  • Trigger alerts or follow-up actions based on time card entries.

Properties

Name Meaning
TimeCard ID The unique identifier of the time card to retrieve. This is required to specify which time card record to fetch from the system.

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the requested time card's details as returned by the HCSS Heavy Job API. The structure typically includes fields such as employee info, hours worked, dates, job codes, and other relevant time card metadata.

No binary data output is produced by this operation.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the HCSS Heavy Job API.
  • The node uses HTTP requests to communicate with the external HCSS API endpoints.
  • Proper configuration of the API credentials within n8n is necessary for successful authentication and data retrieval.

Troubleshooting

  • Missing or invalid TimeCard ID: If the provided ID is empty or incorrect, the API will likely return an error or no data. Ensure the ID is valid and corresponds to an existing time card.
  • Authentication errors: Failure to authenticate with the API (e.g., due to invalid credentials) will prevent data retrieval. Verify that the API key credential is correctly configured and active.
  • API connectivity issues: Network problems or API downtime can cause request failures. Check network access and API status.
  • Error messages: Errors thrown by the node will include messages from the API or internal request failures. Use these messages to diagnose issues, such as permission problems or malformed requests.
