Overview

This node allows users to create a new query form within the "Queries" resource of an external system (likely OpenProject, based on context). It is useful for automating the creation of saved queries or filters that can be reused in project management workflows. For example, a user might create a query form to filter tasks assigned to a specific team or to track issues with a certain priority.

Properties

Name Meaning
Name The name of the query to be created. This is a string input where the user specifies the title or identifier for the new query form.

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the newly created query form. This typically includes details such as the query's ID, name, and any other metadata returned by the API after creation. There is no indication that the node outputs binary data.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the external service.
  • Needs the base URL of the API endpoint configured in the credentials.
  • Depends on the external API being available and responsive to create queries.

Troubleshooting

  • Common Issues:
    • Invalid or missing API credentials will cause authentication failures.
    • Providing an empty or invalid query name may result in API errors.
    • Network connectivity problems can prevent the node from reaching the API.
  • Error Messages:
    • Authentication errors usually indicate incorrect or expired API tokens; verify and update credentials.
    • Validation errors from the API often mean required fields are missing or malformed; ensure the "Name" property is properly set.
    • Timeout or connection errors suggest network issues; check internet access and API availability.

Links and References

  • Refer to the external service’s API documentation for details on creating queries.
  • n8n documentation on how to configure API credentials and use HTTP request nodes may be helpful.
