Overview

This node operation "Lock Poll" under the "Group" resource is designed to lock a specific poll within a group by its Poll ID. Locking a poll typically means preventing further votes or changes, effectively closing the poll for new input. This functionality is useful in scenarios where a poll has reached its deadline or when the poll creator wants to finalize the results.

Practical examples include:

  • Closing a group decision poll after a voting period ends.
  • Preventing additional votes on a survey once enough responses have been collected.
  • Finalizing event planning polls to proceed with confirmed choices.

Properties

Name Meaning
Poll ID The unique identifier of the poll within the group that you want to lock.

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the result of the lock operation on the specified poll. The structure typically includes confirmation of the poll being locked and may contain metadata about the poll's status post-locking.

If the node supports binary data output (not explicitly shown here), it would represent any files or attachments related to the poll locking process, but this operation primarily deals with JSON responses.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential or similar authentication token configured in n8n to access the external service managing group polls.
  • Depends on the external service's API endpoint that handles poll locking by Poll ID.
  • No other explicit dependencies are indicated in the provided code snippet.

Troubleshooting

Common Issues

  • Invalid Poll ID: If the Poll ID does not exist or is incorrect, the node will fail to lock the poll.
  • Authentication Errors: Missing or invalid API credentials can cause authorization failures.
  • Network Issues: Connectivity problems with the external service can lead to timeouts or errors.

Error Messages and Resolutions

  • "Poll not found": Verify the Poll ID is correct and exists in the target group.
  • "Unauthorized" or "Authentication failed": Check that the API key or authentication token is correctly set up in n8n credentials.
  • Timeout or connection errors: Ensure network connectivity and that the external service is reachable.

Links and References

  • Refer to the external service's API documentation for details on poll management and locking endpoints.
  • n8n documentation on creating and configuring API credentials.
  • General best practices for handling asynchronous operations and error handling in n8n nodes.
