OneTapInstall

Overview

This node integrates with the OneTap API to manage participants, profiles, lists, passports, and punch passes related to visitor management, check-ins, and attendance tracking. Specifically for the Participant - Get Single operation, it retrieves detailed information about a single participant by their unique ID.

Use cases include:

• Fetching participant details for event management or attendance verification.
• Integrating participant data into workflows for notifications, reporting, or further processing.
• Automating retrieval of participant status or attributes in visitor management systems.

Example: You have an event registration system and want to pull detailed participant info (like check-in status, notes, or timestamps) to trigger personalized follow-up emails or update CRM records.

Properties

Output

The output is a JSON object representing the participant's data as returned by the OneTap API. It typically includes fields such as participant identifiers, check-in/check-out status and timestamps, notes, location data, and other metadata associated with the participant.

No binary data output is produced by this operation.

Example output structure (simplified):

{
  "id": "participant123",
  "name": "John Doe",
  "checkedIn": true,
  "checkInDate": 1680000000,
  "checkOutDate": null,
  "notes": "VIP guest",
  "location": {
    "lat": 40.7128,
    "lng": -74.0060
  },
  "additionalFields": { ... }
}

Dependencies

• Requires an API key credential configured in n8n to authenticate requests to the OneTap API.
• The node makes HTTP GET requests to the endpoint: https://api-beta.onetapcheckin.com/api/participants/{participantId}.
• No additional external dependencies beyond network access to the OneTap API.

Troubleshooting

• Common issues:

  • Invalid or missing Participant ID will cause the API request to fail.
  • Network connectivity problems or incorrect API credentials will result in authentication errors.
  • If the participant ID does not exist, the API may return a 404 error or empty response.

• Error messages:

  • "Failed to execute participants operation from OneTap API: <error message>" indicates an issue during the API call.
  • Authentication errors suggest checking the configured API key credential.
  • Validation errors usually mean required parameters are missing or malformed.

• Resolution tips:

  • Verify the Participant ID is correct and exists in the OneTap system.
  • Ensure the API key credential is valid and has necessary permissions.
  • Check network connectivity and API endpoint accessibility.
  • Enable "Continue On Fail" in the node settings to handle errors gracefully in workflows.
