Overview
This node interacts with the Nexrender Cloud API to manage templates among other resources. Specifically, the Template Update operation allows users to modify an existing template by providing its ID and a JSON payload describing the changes.
Common scenarios where this node is beneficial include:
- Automating video or animation rendering workflows by updating template configurations dynamically.
- Integrating Nexrender template management into larger automation pipelines.
- Quickly modifying template properties without manual intervention in the Nexrender dashboard.
For example, you might update a template's display name or change its internal structure by sending a JSON body describing the new template state.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| ID | The unique identifier of the template to update. |
| Body | A JSON object representing the template payload with the desired updates. For example, {"type":"aep","displayName":"My Template"}. |
Output
The output is a JSON object representing the updated template as returned by the Nexrender API. It typically includes all template details after the update has been applied.
No binary data output is produced by this operation.
Dependencies
- Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the Nexrender Cloud API.
- The node uses the base URL provided by the credential configuration (e.g.,
https://api.nexrender.com/api/v2). - Proper network access to the Nexrender API endpoint is necessary.
Troubleshooting
- Error: "Operation not implemented" — This indicates an unsupported resource-operation combination was requested. Verify that the Resource is set to "Template" and Operation to "Update".
- Invalid JSON in Body property — Ensure the JSON payload is correctly formatted. Malformed JSON will cause parsing errors.
- Authentication errors — Confirm that the API key credential is valid and has sufficient permissions.
- Network issues or timeouts — Check connectivity to the Nexrender API endpoint and retry if necessary.
- Missing Template ID — The ID property is required; ensure it is provided and correct.
