LearningSuite

Overview

This node interacts with the LearningSuite API to manage groups. Specifically, the "Find or Create Group" operation attempts to find a group by its name and, if it does not exist, creates a new group with that name. This is useful in scenarios where workflows need to ensure a group exists before proceeding, such as assigning users to groups, managing permissions, or organizing content.

Practical examples:

• Automatically creating a user group when onboarding new employees if the group does not already exist.
• Searching for an existing group to add members or update group details without duplicating groups.
• Integrating with other systems to synchronize group data dynamically.

Properties

Output

The output is a JSON array containing one or more objects representing groups. Each object includes details about the group found or created. If the "Include Users" option is enabled, the group data will also contain information about the users belonging to that group.

If the node encounters errors during execution and "Continue On Fail" is enabled, the output may include error objects with messages and the original input data.

No binary data output is produced by this node.

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.
• No additional external dependencies are required beyond the LearningSuite API access.

Troubleshooting

• Common issues:

  • Incorrect or missing API credentials will cause authentication failures.
  • Providing an empty or invalid group name will result in errors.
  • Network connectivity problems can prevent API calls from succeeding.

• Error messages:

  • "No handler for resource "group" and operation "findOrCreate": Indicates a misconfiguration or unsupported operation; verify the resource and operation names.
  • API errors returned from LearningSuite (e.g., group not found, permission denied) will be passed through; check the message for details.
  • If "Continue On Fail" is disabled, any error will stop execution; enable it to handle errors gracefully.

• Resolutions:

  • Ensure valid API credentials and correct base URL.
  • Validate input parameters before running the node.
  • Check network connectivity and API service status.
