Overview
This node integrates with the Vista Social platform to create a new Note resource. It allows users to add notes with specific details such as title, description, date, visibility, and color. This is useful for automating note-taking or content management workflows within Vista Social, for example, creating reminders, annotations, or informational notes linked to social media activities.
Practical examples:
- Automatically create a note when a new event is scheduled.
- Add a private note to document internal feedback on a campaign.
- Generate public notes summarizing social media performance metrics.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Title | The title of the note to be created. |
| Note | The detailed description or content of the note. |
| Date | The date associated with the note (e.g., creation or relevant event date). |
| Visibility | The visibility setting of the note; can be either "Public" or "Private". |
| Color | The color label for the note, chosen from a predefined list of colors (e.g., "Alice Blue", "Peach", "Turquoise"). |
Output
The node outputs JSON data representing the newly created note in Vista Social. This JSON typically includes all properties sent during creation along with any additional metadata returned by the API, such as unique identifiers or timestamps.
If binary data were involved (not indicated here), it would represent attachments or media related to the note, but this node focuses solely on JSON note data.
Dependencies
- Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the Vista Social API.
- The node sends requests to the base URL:
https://vistasocial.com/api/integration. - Proper configuration of the API authentication token in n8n credentials is necessary.
Troubleshooting
Common issues:
- Missing required fields like Title, Note, or Date will cause errors.
- Invalid date format may lead to request failures.
- Incorrect or expired API credentials will result in authentication errors.
- Selecting unsupported color or visibility options might cause validation errors.
Error messages and resolutions:
- Authentication failed: Verify that the API key credential is correctly set up and has not expired.
- Validation error: Ensure all required fields are filled and values conform to expected formats and options.
- Network errors: Check internet connectivity and API endpoint availability.
