AvantGuard - HuduInstall

Overview

The Duplicate Procedure operation in the "Procedures" resource allows users to create a copy of an existing procedure within the AvantGuard Hudu system. This is useful when you want to replicate a procedure's structure and optionally assign it a new name or description, typically for use in another company context or as a template for similar processes.

Common scenarios:

• Creating a new procedure based on an existing one for a different company.
• Quickly generating variations of standard procedures with minor changes.
• Streamlining onboarding by duplicating best-practice procedures.

Example:
A user wants to duplicate a standard onboarding procedure for a new client company, giving it a unique name and description relevant to that client.

Output

The node outputs a json object containing details of the newly duplicated procedure. While the exact structure depends on the API response, typical fields may include:

{
  "id": 123,
  "name": "Duplicated Procedure Name",
  "description": "New description if provided",
  "company_id": 456,
  // ...other procedure details
}

• If binary data is ever returned, it would represent the content of the duplicated procedure, but this node primarily returns structured JSON.

Dependencies

• External Service: Requires access to the AvantGuard Hudu API.
• API Key/Credentials: Needs valid avantguardHuduApi credentials configured in n8n, including the base URL (baseUrl) for the Hudu instance.
• n8n Configuration: Ensure the credentials are set up in the n8n credential store.

---

Troubleshooting

Common Issues:

• Invalid Procedure ID: If the provided "Id" does not exist, the API may return a "Not Found" error.
• Missing Company ID: Omitting the "Company Id" will result in a validation error.
• Insufficient Permissions: The API key used must have permission to read the source procedure and create new ones for the target company.
• Duplicate Name Conflict: If a procedure with the same name already exists in the target company, the API may reject the request or overwrite, depending on its rules.

Error Messages & Resolutions:

• "Procedure not found": Check that the "Id" matches an existing procedure.
• "Company not found": Verify the "Company Id" is correct and accessible.
• "Unauthorized": Ensure your API credentials are valid and have sufficient permissions.
• "Validation failed": Double-check all required fields and their formats.
