Overview
The node interacts with the Sindup API to manage folders and filters within the Sindup platform. Specifically, the "Update Filter" operation allows users to modify an existing filter's details such as its name and query keywords within a specified folder. This is useful for refining or correcting filter criteria without needing to delete and recreate filters.
Practical examples include:
- Updating a filter that tracks news articles about "climate change" to now also include "renewable energy".
- Renaming a filter to better reflect its current focus or purpose.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Folder ID | The unique identifier of the folder containing the filter to update. |
| Filter ID | The unique identifier of the filter that you want to update. |
| Name | The new name to assign to the filter. |
| Query Keywords | The updated keywords used in the filter's query to define what content it captures. |
Output
The node outputs JSON data representing the result of the update operation. This typically includes confirmation of the updated filter details or status information returned by the Sindup API. There is no indication that binary data is output by this node.
Dependencies
- Requires an active connection to the Sindup API.
- Needs an API authentication token or key configured in n8n credentials to authorize requests.
- Network access to the Sindup service endpoint.
Troubleshooting
Common issues:
- Invalid or missing Folder ID or Filter ID will cause the update to fail.
- Incorrect API credentials or expired tokens will result in authentication errors.
- Providing empty or malformed query keywords may lead to rejection by the API.
Error messages and resolutions:
- "Filter not found" — Verify the Filter ID is correct and exists within the specified folder.
- "Unauthorized" or "Authentication failed" — Check that the API key credential is valid and properly configured.
- "Invalid input" — Ensure all required fields (Folder ID, Filter ID, Name, Query Keywords) are provided and correctly formatted.
