Overview
The node "Nextcloud Tables" allows users to manage Nextcloud Tables, including creating and manipulating tables, rows, columns, views, shares, and imports. Specifically, the "Tabelle Erstellen" (Create Table) operation under the "Tabelle" (Table) resource enables users to create a new table in their Nextcloud environment.
This node is beneficial for automating the creation and management of structured data within Nextcloud Tables, such as setting up project task lists, employee directories, or customer databases. For example, you can automatically generate a new table titled "Project Tasks" with an optional emoji icon and choose from predefined templates like a Todo list or employee directory to quickly scaffold your data structure.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Titel | The title of the new table. This is a required string input where you specify the table name. |
| Emoji | An optional emoji to visually represent the table. |
| Template | Choose a template for the new table. Options include: |
| - Keine Vorlage (No template): Creates an empty table. | |
| - Todo-Liste (Todo list): Creates a table based on a todo list template. | |
| - Mitarbeiter (Employees): Creates a table based on an employee template. | |
| - Kunden (Customers): Creates a table based on a customer template. |
Output
The output of this operation is a JSON object representing the newly created table's details. This typically includes metadata about the table such as its ID, title, emoji, and possibly other properties depending on the template used.
If the node supports binary data output (not indicated here), it would relate to any file attachments or exports associated with the table, but this operation primarily outputs JSON data describing the created table.
Dependencies
- Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the Nextcloud Tables API.
- The node depends on the Nextcloud Tables service being accessible and properly configured.
- No additional external services are explicitly required beyond the Nextcloud instance.
Troubleshooting
Common Issues:
- Authentication failures due to invalid or missing API credentials.
- Network connectivity issues preventing access to the Nextcloud server.
- Invalid or missing required parameters such as the table title.
- Selecting an unknown or unsupported template value.
Error Messages:
- Errors indicating "Unknown resource" or "Unknown operation" suggest misconfiguration of the resource or operation parameters.
- API errors returned from Nextcloud may indicate permission issues or malformed requests.
Resolutions:
- Verify that the API key credential is correctly set up and has sufficient permissions.
- Ensure the Nextcloud server URL and network settings allow API access.
- Provide all required inputs, especially the table title.
- Use only supported template options as listed.
