Vikunja

Overview

This node integrates with the Vikunja API to manage teams within the task management system. Specifically, the "Create Team" operation allows users to create a new team by specifying its name and an optional description. This is useful in scenarios where organizations want to programmatically organize users into teams for better collaboration and task assignment.

Practical examples include:

• Automating team creation when onboarding new departments.
• Creating project-specific teams dynamically based on external triggers.
• Integrating with HR systems to sync team structures.

Properties

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the newly created team as returned by the Vikunja API. This typically includes fields such as the team's unique identifier, name, description, and possibly metadata like creation timestamps.

No binary data output is involved in this operation.

Dependencies

• Requires an API key credential for authenticating requests to the Vikunja API.
• The base URL for the Vikunja API must be configured in the node credentials.
• The node sends HTTP requests with JSON payloads to the Vikunja server.

Troubleshooting

• Missing or invalid API credentials: Ensure that the API key and base URL are correctly set up in the node's credentials.
• Required fields not provided: The "Team Name" property is mandatory; omitting it will cause the request to fail.
• API endpoint errors: If the Vikunja server is unreachable or returns errors, verify network connectivity and API server status.
• Invalid descriptions: Although optional, excessively long or malformed descriptions might be rejected by the API.
