Overview
This node interacts with the LearningSuite API to find a group by its name. It is useful in scenarios where you need to retrieve detailed information about a specific group within the LearningSuite platform, such as for user management, reporting, or automation workflows that depend on group membership or attributes.
For example, you might use this node to:
- Retrieve a group’s details before adding users to it.
- Check if a group exists before creating a new one.
- Fetch group information along with its users to synchronize with another system.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Group Name | The exact name of the group to find. |
| Additional Options | Optional settings to customize the query: |
| - Include Users | Boolean option to include the list of users belonging to the group in the results. |
Output
The node outputs an array of JSON objects representing the found group(s). Each object contains the group's details such as its identifier, name, and other metadata provided by the LearningSuite API.
If the "Include Users" option is enabled, the output will also include a nested list of users who are members of the group.
No binary data output is produced by this operation.
Dependencies
- Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the LearningSuite API.
- The node expects the base URL of the LearningSuite API to be configured in the credentials.
- No additional external dependencies beyond the LearningSuite API and n8n's standard HTTP request capabilities.
Troubleshooting
Common issues:
- If the group name does not exactly match any existing group, the node may return an empty result or an error indicating no group found.
- Network or authentication errors if the API key or base URL is misconfigured.
- Enabling "Include Users" may increase response time or payload size depending on group size.
Error messages:
"No handler for resource "group" and operation "findByName": Indicates a misconfiguration or unsupported operation; ensure the correct resource and operation are selected.- API authentication errors: Verify that the API key credential is valid and has necessary permissions.
"Unknown error": Generic fallback error; check API connectivity and input parameters.
