Manage visitors, check-ins, and attendance with OneTap

Overview

This node integrates with the OneTap API to manage visitor profiles and related data. Specifically, the "Update Avatar" operation under the "Profile" resource allows users to update the avatar image of a specific profile by providing the profile ID and the new avatar image file.

Use cases include:

  • Automatically updating user or visitor profile pictures in your system based on external triggers.
  • Synchronizing avatar images from other platforms or sources into OneTap profiles.
  • Enhancing visitor management workflows by keeping profile images current.

Example: You receive a base64-encoded image from a previous node (e.g., an image upload or transformation) and want to update the corresponding visitor's avatar in OneTap by specifying their profile ID and the image data.

Properties

Name Meaning
Profile ID The unique identifier of the profile whose avatar you want to update.
Avatar File The avatar image file content to upload. This can be base64 encoded data or a binary property from a previous node.

Output

The node outputs the response from the OneTap API after attempting to update the avatar. The output JSON typically contains the updated profile data or confirmation details returned by the API.

  • json: Contains the API response object related to the avatar update.
  • No binary data is output by this node.

Dependencies

  • Requires an active connection to the OneTap API via an API key credential configured in n8n.
  • The node uses HTTP requests with authentication to communicate with the OneTap service at https://api-beta.onetapcheckin.com.
  • The "Avatar File" must be provided as either base64 encoded string or binary data accessible from previous nodes.

Troubleshooting

  • Invalid Profile ID: If the profile ID does not exist or is incorrect, the API will return an error. Verify the profile ID before running the node.
  • Invalid Avatar Data: Ensure the avatar file data is correctly formatted (base64 or binary). Improper encoding may cause upload failures.
  • Authentication Errors: Confirm that the API key credential is valid and has sufficient permissions.
  • Content-Type Header: The node sets "Content-Type": "multipart/form-data" for the avatar upload. If the API changes requirements, this might need adjustment.
  • API Rate Limits: Frequent updates may hit rate limits; handle errors accordingly or add delays.
