Overview
This node interacts with the LearningSuite API to retrieve information about groups and their associated courses. Specifically, the "Get Group Courses" operation fetches all courses linked to a specified group by its name or ID. This is useful in scenarios where you want to automate workflows involving group-based course management, such as generating reports on group enrollments, syncing group courses with other systems, or triggering actions based on group course data.
Practical examples:
- Automatically retrieving all courses assigned to a particular training group to update an external LMS.
- Generating notifications or reminders for users enrolled in courses within a specific group.
- Integrating group course data into dashboards or analytics platforms.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Group Name or ID | The identifier of the group whose courses you want to retrieve. You can select from a list of existing groups or specify an ID using an expression. |
Output
The output is a JSON array containing objects that represent the courses associated with the specified group. Each object includes details about a course (such as course ID, name, description, etc., depending on the API response). This allows downstream nodes to process or manipulate course data easily.
If the node supports binary data output (not indicated here), it would typically relate to course materials or attachments, but this operation focuses on JSON data representing course metadata.
Dependencies
- Requires a valid API key credential for authenticating with the LearningSuite API.
- The node depends on the LearningSuite API being accessible at the configured base URL.
- Proper permissions must be granted to the API key to read group and course information.
Troubleshooting
Common issues:
- Invalid or missing group ID: Ensure the group ID is correct and exists in the system.
- API authentication errors: Verify that the API key credential is correctly configured and has necessary permissions.
- Network or connectivity problems: Confirm that the base URL is reachable from n8n.
Error messages:
"No handler for resource "group" and operation "getCourses": Indicates a misconfiguration or unsupported operation; verify the resource and operation names.- API errors returned from LearningSuite (e.g., 404 Not Found if group does not exist): Check the group ID and API access rights.
- NodeOperationError with message about unknown error: Review the node's input parameters and ensure they conform to expected formats.
