TeleFlowInstall

Overview

This node integrates with the TeleFlow API to perform various operations on multiple resource types, including files. Specifically, for the File resource and the Delete operation, the node deletes a file identified by its unique ID from the TeleFlow system.

Common scenarios where this node is beneficial include:

• Automating cleanup of obsolete or temporary files stored in TeleFlow.
• Managing file lifecycle as part of larger workflows that handle data processing or archival.
• Integrating file deletion into business processes triggered by external events.

For example, after processing a file through a workflow, you can use this node to automatically delete the file from TeleFlow to save storage space and maintain data hygiene.

Properties

Output

The output JSON contains the response from the TeleFlow API after attempting to delete the specified file. Typically, this will be an object indicating success or failure of the deletion operation. The exact structure depends on the API's response but generally confirms whether the file was deleted.

No binary data output is produced by this operation.

Example output JSON might look like:

{
  "success": true,
  "message": "File deleted successfully"
}

or in case of error:

{
  "error": "File not found"
}

Dependencies

• Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the TeleFlow API.
• The node expects the base URL of the TeleFlow API to be configured in the credentials.
• Network connectivity to the TeleFlow API endpoint is necessary.

Troubleshooting

• Missing ID Error: If the "ID" property is not provided, the node throws an error stating that the ID is required. Ensure you provide a valid file ID.
• API Errors: If the file does not exist or cannot be deleted due to permissions, the API may return an error message. Check the error details in the output JSON.
• Authentication Issues: Failure to authenticate with the TeleFlow API will prevent the operation. Verify that the API key credential is correctly set up.
• Continue On Fail: If enabled, the node will continue processing subsequent items even if one fails, returning error details in the output JSON.
