Lectful

Interact with the VIPay Lectful API

Overview

This node integrates with the Lectful API to manage enrollments among many other resources. Specifically, the Enrollment - Create operation allows you to create a new enrollment for a user into a specified course, learning path, or live event.

Typical use cases include:

  • Automatically enrolling users into courses or learning paths after registration.
  • Managing user access to live events by programmatically creating enrollments.
  • Integrating enrollment workflows within broader automation pipelines in n8n.

For example, after a user signs up on your platform, you can use this node to enroll them into a specific course automatically without manual intervention.

Properties

Name Meaning
Authentication Mode Choose how to authenticate with the Lectful API:
- Use Stored Credentials
- Manual Configuration (provide base URL and API key manually)
Credentials Note Notice shown when using Manual Configuration mode explaining credential overrides
Base URL Override Optional base URL to override the stored credential's base URL (without /api/v1)
API Key Override Optional API key to override the stored credential's API key
Enrollable Type Type of enrollment:
- Course
- Learning Path
- Live Event
Enrollable ID ID of the course, learning path, or live event to enroll the user into
User ID ID of the user to enroll

Output

The node outputs an array of JSON objects corresponding to each input item processed. For the Enrollment Create operation, the output JSON contains the response from the Lectful API representing the newly created enrollment resource. This typically includes details such as enrollment ID, user ID, enrollable type and ID, status, timestamps, and any other metadata returned by the API.

No binary data is produced by this operation.

Dependencies

  • Requires access to the Lectful API.
  • Authentication can be provided either via stored credentials configured in n8n or manually by specifying the base URL and API key.
  • The node expects the API to be reachable at the base URL ending with /api/v1.
  • Proper API key or token with permissions to create enrollments is necessary.

Troubleshooting

  • Missing or invalid credentials: If neither stored credentials nor manual configuration parameters are properly set, the node will throw errors indicating missing base URL or API key.
  • Invalid Enrollable Type or ID: Providing incorrect or non-existent IDs for courses, learning paths, or live events will result in API errors.
  • User ID issues: Ensure the user ID exists and is valid in the Lectful system; otherwise, enrollment creation will fail.
  • API connectivity problems: Network issues or incorrect base URLs will cause request failures.
  • Error messages: The node surfaces error messages from the Lectful API. Common errors relate to authentication failure, invalid parameters, or permission issues. Review the error message and verify credentials and input parameters accordingly.
