Interact with the Octave V2 API

Actions26

Overview

This node integrates with the Octave V2 API, enabling users to interact programmatically with various Octave resources. Specifically, the "Playbook" resource with the "Get Playbook" operation allows retrieving detailed information about a specific playbook by its unique identifier (OId). This is useful in scenarios where you want to fetch and use playbook data within an automation workflow, such as analyzing playbook content, triggering actions based on playbook details, or integrating playbook data into other systems.

Practical example:
You have a sales automation workflow that needs to retrieve a particular playbook's configuration to customize outreach sequences dynamically. Using this node, you can fetch the playbook by its OId and then use the returned data to tailor subsequent steps.

Properties

Name Meaning
Playbook OId The unique identifier (OId) of the playbook to retrieve. This is a required string input.

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the retrieved playbook object. The structure typically includes all relevant playbook details as provided by the Octave API, such as metadata, steps, configurations, and any associated data defining the playbook.

If the node supports binary data output (not indicated here), it would represent attachments or files related to the playbook, but for this operation, the output is purely JSON.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the Octave V2 API.
  • The node depends on the Octave API being accessible and the provided playbook OId being valid.
  • No additional environment variables are explicitly required beyond the API authentication setup.

Troubleshooting

  • Common issues:

    • Providing an invalid or non-existent playbook OId will likely result in an error from the API indicating the playbook was not found.
    • Network connectivity problems or incorrect API credentials will cause authentication or connection errors.

  • Error messages:

    • Errors thrown during execution include the API response body when available, aiding diagnosis.
    • Parsing errors may occur if the API returns malformed JSON; these are caught and reported with a parse error message.

  • Resolution tips:

    • Verify the playbook OId is correct and exists in your Octave account.
    • Ensure the API key credential is valid and has sufficient permissions.
    • Check network connectivity and API endpoint availability.
    • Enable "Continue On Fail" in the node settings to handle errors gracefully within workflows.
