Interact with OpenProject via API

Actions199

Overview

The node allows users to interact with the "Notifications" resource of an external service, specifically to view details of a single notification by its ID. This operation is useful when you want to retrieve and process information about a specific notification, for example, to display its content, status, or metadata in a workflow.

Practical examples include:

  • Fetching a notification's details after receiving a trigger event.
  • Using the notification data to make decisions or route workflow execution.
  • Logging or archiving notification information for audit purposes.

Properties

Name Meaning
Id The unique identifier of the notification to view. This is a required numeric value specifying which notification's details to retrieve.

Output

The output will contain a JSON object representing the detailed information of the requested notification. This typically includes fields such as notification content, timestamp, sender, status, and any other metadata provided by the external service's API.

If the node supports binary data output (not indicated here), it would represent attachments or media related to the notification, but based on the provided code and properties, the output is JSON-only.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the external service's API.
  • The base URL for the API must be configured in the node credentials.
  • The node depends on an OpenAPI client library to handle requests and responses according to the service's API specification.

Troubleshooting

  • Common issues:

    • Providing an invalid or non-existent notification ID will likely result in an error or empty response.
    • Missing or incorrect API credentials will cause authentication failures.
    • Network connectivity problems can prevent the node from reaching the API endpoint.
  • Error messages:

    • Authentication errors indicating invalid or missing API keys require checking the configured credentials.
    • "Notification not found" or similar errors suggest verifying the notification ID input.
    • Timeout or connection errors may need network troubleshooting or adjusting request timeouts.

Links and References

  • Refer to the external service's official API documentation for the Notifications resource.
  • Consult n8n documentation on how to configure API credentials and use custom nodes.
