LearningSuite

Overview

The node integrates with the LearningSuite API to manage various resources related to an educational platform. Specifically, for the Group resource and the Create Group operation, it allows users to create a new group by specifying its name. This is useful in scenarios where you want to programmatically organize users or members into groups within LearningSuite, such as creating study groups, project teams, or class sections.

Practical examples:

• Automatically creating a new group when a course is launched.
• Organizing members into groups based on external triggers or data.
• Integrating group creation into workflows that manage user onboarding or course enrollment.

Properties

Output

The node outputs a JSON array containing the response from the LearningSuite API after attempting to create the group. Each item in the output corresponds to one input item processed. The structure typically includes details about the newly created group, such as its ID, name, and other metadata returned by the API.

If the node encounters errors during execution and "Continue On Fail" is enabled, the output will include error messages alongside the input data that caused them.

No binary data output is indicated in the source code.

Dependencies

• Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the LearningSuite API.
• The base URL for the API must be configured in the node credentials.
• The node depends on the LearningSuite API being accessible and properly configured to accept requests for group management.

Troubleshooting

• Common issues:

  • Missing or invalid API credentials will cause authentication failures.
  • Providing an empty or invalid group name will likely result in API errors.
  • Network connectivity problems can prevent successful API calls.
  • If the specified resource-operation handler is missing, the node throws an error indicating no handler found.

• Error messages:

  • "No handler for resource "group" and operation "create": Indicates the node does not support the requested operation; verify the resource and operation names.
  • API error messages returned from LearningSuite are passed through; check the message for details (e.g., validation errors).
  • Errors thrown by the node are wrapped as NodeOperationError with descriptive messages.

• Resolutions:

  • Ensure API credentials are correctly set up and tested.
  • Validate input parameters before running the node.
  • Enable "Continue On Fail" to handle errors gracefully in workflows.
