Actions8
Overview
The node interacts with the Sindup API to manage filters within folders. Specifically, the "Delete Filter" operation allows users to remove an existing filter from a specified folder. This is useful in scenarios where filters are no longer relevant or need to be cleaned up to maintain organized content management.
Practical example: If you have a folder monitoring news articles on various topics and a particular filter becomes obsolete or incorrect, you can use this operation to delete that filter without affecting other filters or folder contents.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Folder ID | The unique identifier of the folder containing the filter to delete (e.g., "12345"). |
| Filter ID | The unique identifier of the filter to be deleted from the folder (e.g., "67890"). |
Output
The node's execute() method returns an empty array ([[]]), indicating that it does not produce any output data after deleting a filter. The operation is performed for its side effect (deletion) rather than returning data.
Dependencies
- Requires an API key credential to authenticate with the Sindup API.
- The node depends on network access to the Sindup service endpoint.
- Proper configuration of the API authentication credential in n8n is necessary.
Troubleshooting
Common issues:
- Invalid or missing Folder ID or Filter ID will prevent deletion.
- Authentication failures due to incorrect or expired API credentials.
- Network connectivity problems blocking access to the Sindup API.
Error messages and resolutions:
- "Filter not found": Verify that the Filter ID exists within the specified Folder ID.
- "Unauthorized" or "Authentication failed": Check and update the API key credential.
- "Network error" or timeouts: Ensure stable internet connection and Sindup API availability.
