Interact with the Octave V2 API

Actions26

Overview

This node interacts with the Octave V2 API to list personas based on various filtering and pagination options. It is useful for scenarios where you want to retrieve a collection of persona records from the Octave platform, such as for marketing segmentation, customer profiling, or targeted outreach campaigns.

Practical examples include:

  • Fetching all personas related to a specific product or playbook.
  • Retrieving only your own personas or those shared within your team.
  • Performing text-based searches to find personas matching certain keywords.
  • Paginating through large sets of personas by specifying limits and offsets.

Properties

Name Meaning
Return All Whether to return all results or only up to a given limit (true/false).
Limit Maximum number of results to return (used if "Return All" is false).
Offset Number of results to skip before starting to collect the output (for pagination).
Text Search Text query string to filter personas by matching content.
Query Type Type of query to perform: All personas, Team personas, or only Mine (your own).
Product OID (Filter) Filter personas by a specific Product Object ID (optional).
Playbook OID (Filter) Filter personas by a specific Playbook Object ID (optional).

Output

The node outputs an array of persona objects in the json field of each item. Each persona object contains details about a persona retrieved from the Octave API according to the specified filters and pagination.

If binary data were supported, it would typically represent attachments or media related to personas, but this node focuses on JSON data output only.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the Octave V2 API.
  • The node depends on the Octave API service being accessible and properly configured.
  • No additional environment variables are explicitly required beyond the API authentication.

Troubleshooting

  • Common issues:

    • Invalid or missing API key credential will cause authentication failures.
    • Providing invalid filter values (e.g., malformed Product or Playbook IDs) may result in empty results or API errors.
    • Pagination parameters (limit and offset) must be valid numbers; otherwise, the API might reject the request.

  • Error messages:

    • Authentication errors usually indicate problems with the API key setup.
    • API response parsing errors can occur if the Octave API returns unexpected data formats.
    • Network or connectivity issues will manifest as request timeouts or connection errors.

To resolve these:

  • Verify that the API key credential is correctly configured and has necessary permissions.
  • Double-check filter inputs for correctness.
  • Ensure network connectivity to the Octave API endpoint.
  • Use the "Return All" option carefully when expecting large datasets to avoid performance issues.
