Lectful

Interact with the VIPay Lectful API

Overview

This node integrates with the Lectful API to manage various educational resources and user-related data. Specifically, for the Enrollment - Get operation, it retrieves detailed information about a specific enrollment by its ID. This is useful in scenarios where you want to fetch enrollment details such as status, associated user, or course information within an automated workflow.

Practical examples include:

  • Automatically retrieving enrollment details after a user signs up for a course.
  • Fetching enrollment status to trigger notifications or access control.
  • Integrating enrollment data into CRM or reporting tools.

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 Informational note shown when using Manual Configuration mode explaining credential usage.
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.
Enrollment ID The unique identifier of the enrollment to retrieve. (Required)

Output

The node outputs the JSON response from the Lectful API corresponding to the requested enrollment. This typically includes all enrollment details such as:

  • Enrollment ID
  • User ID associated with the enrollment
  • Enrollable type and ID (e.g., course, learning path)
  • Approval status
  • Enrollment timestamps and metadata

The output is structured as a JSON object under the json property of each item. There is no binary data output for this operation.

Example output snippet (conceptual):

{
  "id": "enrollment123",
  "userId": "user456",
  "enrollableType": "course",
  "enrollableId": "course789",
  "isApproved": true,
  "createdAt": "2023-01-01T12:00:00Z",
  "updatedAt": "2023-01-02T12:00:00Z"
}

Dependencies

  • Requires access to the Lectful API.
  • Needs either stored credentials configured in n8n or manual input of Base URL and API key.
  • The API key must have sufficient permissions to read enrollment data.
  • No additional external dependencies beyond HTTP request capabilities provided by n8n.

Troubleshooting

  • Missing or invalid credentials: If neither stored credentials nor manual overrides are properly set, the node will throw an error indicating missing authentication details.
  • Invalid Enrollment ID: Providing an incorrect or non-existent enrollment ID will likely result in an API error (e.g., 404 Not Found). Verify the ID before use.
  • Base URL Override required in manual mode: When using manual authentication mode, both Base URL Override and API Key Override must be provided; otherwise, the node throws an error.
  • API rate limits or connectivity issues: Network errors or API throttling may cause failures. Check network connectivity and API usage limits.
  • Error messages: The node surfaces API error messages in the output if "Continue On Fail" is enabled, helping diagnose issues.
