Overview
This n8n node is designed to interact with a "Folder" resource, specifically to retrieve (get) information about a folder by its unique ID. It is useful in scenarios where you need to fetch details of a specific folder from an external system or API, such as Directus, based on its identifier. For example, you might use this node to look up folder metadata for automation workflows that organize files, manage permissions, or synchronize folder structures.
Properties
| Name | Type | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| ID | String | Unique ID of the folder object. This is required to identify the folder. |
Output
The output will be a JSON object containing the details of the requested folder. The exact structure depends on the external service's response, but typically includes fields such as the folder's name, ID, creation date, and other metadata.
Dependencies
- Requires access to the external service (e.g., Directus API) where folders are managed.
- May require authentication credentials or API keys configured in n8n.
Troubleshooting
- Missing or Invalid ID: If the "ID" property is empty or incorrect, the node may return an error indicating that the folder was not found.
- Authentication Errors: If API credentials are missing or invalid, you may receive authorization errors.
- Network Issues: Connectivity problems can result in timeout or network-related errors.
