Overview
The node provides enhanced integration with WeChat Work, allowing users to manage organizational departments programmatically. Specifically, the "Update Department" operation enables updating existing department information within a WeChat Work account. This is useful for automating organizational changes such as renaming departments, changing parent departments, or modifying other department attributes without manual intervention in the WeChat Work admin console.
Practical examples include:
- Automatically syncing department updates from an HR system to WeChat Work.
- Adjusting department structures dynamically based on business rules or workflows.
- Keeping WeChat Work department data consistent with other enterprise systems.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Department Data | JSON-formatted data representing the department details to update. This includes fields like department ID, name, parent ID, and other relevant department attributes as defined by WeChat Work API. |
Output
The node outputs a JSON object containing the response from the WeChat Work API after attempting to update the department. This typically includes confirmation of the update or error details if the operation failed.
No binary data output is involved in this operation.
Dependencies
- Requires an active subscription and valid API key for the external N8N Tools API service used for request validation.
- Needs credentials for authenticating with the WeChat Work API (e.g., OAuth2 tokens or API keys).
- The node internally uses a helper class that wraps WeChat Work API calls.
Troubleshooting
- Invalid Subscription or API Key: If the node throws an error about invalid subscription or API key, verify that the API key credential is correctly configured and active.
- Malformed Department Data: Ensure the JSON provided in "Department Data" is well-formed and contains all required fields according to WeChat Work's API specification.
- Unsupported Operation Error: This should not occur for "updateDepartment" if selected properly, but if it does, confirm the resource and operation parameters are set correctly.
- API Rate Limits or Permissions: Errors related to permissions or rate limits may require checking the WeChat Work account's API access rights or adjusting usage patterns.
