Overview

The node integrates with the SEO Content Machine API to manage and manipulate SEO-related tasks. Specifically, for the Task - Update operation, it allows users to update the data of an existing SEO task by sending new JSON-formatted task data to the API.

This node is beneficial in scenarios where automated workflows need to modify SEO tasks dynamically, such as updating content parameters, keywords, or other task-specific settings without manual intervention. For example, a user might update a task's configuration based on analytics results or external triggers to optimize SEO campaigns continuously.

Properties

Name Meaning
Task The identifier of the SEO task to update. Can be selected from a list or specified by ID.
Task Data JSON string containing the updated data for the task. This JSON defines the new task parameters.

Output

  • The output json field contains the response from the SEO Content Machine API after attempting to update the task.
  • The structure depends on the API's response but generally includes confirmation of the update or details about the updated task.
  • No binary data output is produced by this operation.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for the SEO Content Machine service.
  • The node uses HTTP requests authenticated via this API key to communicate with the SEO Content Machine API endpoint.
  • Proper configuration of the API credential within n8n is necessary for successful execution.

Troubleshooting

  • Common Issues:

    • Invalid or missing task ID: Ensure the task ID provided matches the expected format (alphanumeric, dashes, underscores, minimum length 2).
    • Malformed JSON in "Task Data": The JSON must be valid; otherwise, parsing will fail.
    • Authentication errors: Verify that the API key credential is correctly set up and has sufficient permissions.
    • Network or API downtime: Check connectivity and API status if requests fail unexpectedly.

  • Error Messages:

    • Regex validation error for task ID: "Not a valid task ID" — fix by providing a correct task ID.
    • JSON parse errors when reading "Task Data" — ensure the input is valid JSON.
    • HTTP errors from the API (e.g., 401 Unauthorized, 404 Not Found) — check credentials and task existence.
