Overview

This node allows users to create a backup software entry by sending a POST request with specified user identification and optional additional data fields. It is useful in scenarios where automated backup configurations or records need to be created programmatically within a workflow, such as setting up backups for new users or systems.

For example, you might use this node to:

  • Register a new backup software configuration for a user identified by their user ID.
  • Include optional JSON data parameters that customize the backup behavior, like toggling regex matching or exclusion flags.

Properties

Name Meaning
X USER ID The User Id header value required to identify the user for whom the backup software is created. This is sent as an HTTP header X-USER-ID.
Additional Body Fields Optional JSON fields to include in the request body. Currently supports a data field which can contain JSON with properties such as regex (boolean) and exculde (boolean). These fields allow customization of the backup creation request.

Output

The node outputs the response from the API call in the json output field. This typically contains the details of the newly created backup software entry or any relevant status information returned by the server.

No binary data output is indicated.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for authentication (referred generically as "an API key credential").
  • The base URL for the API must be configured in the node credentials.
  • The node uses HTTP headers and JSON body payloads to communicate with the external backup software service.

Troubleshooting

  • Missing or invalid X USER ID: If the X USER ID header is not provided or incorrect, the API may reject the request. Ensure this property is set correctly.
  • Malformed JSON in Additional Body Fields: The data field expects valid JSON. Invalid JSON syntax will cause errors. Use proper JSON formatting.
  • API Authentication Errors: If the API key credential is missing or invalid, authentication will fail. Verify the credential setup.
  • Network or Endpoint Issues: Ensure the base URL is correct and the external service is reachable.
