Overview

This node operation deletes a backup software entry identified by a specific ID for a given user. It is useful in scenarios where you need to programmatically remove backup software records from a system, such as cleaning up outdated or unused backups associated with particular users.

Practical examples include:

  • Automating the removal of backup software entries when a user account is deactivated.
  • Integrating with a larger workflow that manages backup lifecycle by deleting backups after successful migration or expiration.

Properties

Name Meaning
X USER ID The User ID header value used to identify the user whose backup software entry will be deleted. This is required and sent as an HTTP header named X-USER-ID.
Id The numeric identifier of the backup software entry to delete. This is required and specifies which backup software record to remove.

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the result of the delete operation. Typically, this would include confirmation of deletion or any error messages returned by the API. There is no indication of binary data output.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for authentication (configured in n8n credentials).
  • Depends on an external API endpoint configured via the base URL in credentials.
  • The node sends requests with headers including Accept: application/json and Content-Type: application/json.
  • The X-USER-ID header must be provided as input to specify the user context.

Troubleshooting

  • Missing or invalid X USER ID: The API may reject the request if the user ID header is missing or incorrect. Ensure the correct user ID is provided.
  • Invalid or non-existent Id: If the backup software ID does not exist, the API might return a "not found" error. Verify the ID before attempting deletion.
  • Authentication errors: If the API key credential is missing or invalid, the request will fail. Confirm that the API key is correctly set up in n8n.
  • Network or API errors: Check connectivity and API availability if requests time out or fail unexpectedly.

Links and References

  • Refer to the external backup software API documentation for details on the delete endpoint and expected responses.
