Overview
This node operation allows editing an existing custom variable by updating its description. It is useful in scenarios where you need to maintain or modify metadata associated with custom variables, such as clarifying their purpose or updating details for better documentation and management within workflows.
For example, if a custom variable was initially created with a vague description, this operation lets you update it to something more descriptive, improving clarity for users who reference the variable later.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Custom Variable ID | The unique identifier of the custom variable you want to edit. |
| Description | A brief textual description of the custom variable. This field is required when editing. |
Output
The node outputs JSON data representing the updated custom variable after the edit operation. This typically includes the updated description and other relevant fields returned by the API confirming the successful update.
No binary data output is involved in this operation.
Dependencies
- Requires access to an external API at
https://api.notificacoesinteligentes.comto perform the update. - Needs proper authentication credentials (such as an API key or token) configured in n8n to authorize requests to the API.
- Network connectivity to the API endpoint is necessary.
Troubleshooting
Common issues:
- Invalid or missing Custom Variable ID will cause the update to fail.
- Providing an empty or missing description when required will result in validation errors.
- Authentication failures due to incorrect or expired credentials.
- Network timeouts or unreachable API endpoints.
Error messages and resolutions:
- "Unauthorized" or "Authentication failed": Check and update your API authentication credentials.
- "Custom Variable not found": Verify that the provided Custom Variable ID exists.
- "Description is required": Ensure the description field is filled before submitting.
- Timeout errors: Confirm network connectivity and API availability.
