Overview

This node, named "Ajax," is designed to interact with the Ajax API (version indicated in the code). It provides a flexible interface to perform various operations on multiple resources related to Ajax security and automation systems. Specifically, for the resource Access Code and operation Update Access Code Duress Password For Company, the node updates the duress password associated with an access code within a specified company.

Common scenarios where this node is beneficial include:

  • Managing security credentials programmatically for companies using Ajax systems.
  • Automating updates of sensitive access codes such as duress passwords to enhance security.
  • Integrating Ajax system management into broader workflows, e.g., updating access codes when employee roles change or after security audits.

Practical example:

  • A security administrator wants to rotate duress passwords for all access codes in a company monthly. This node can be used in an automated workflow to update those passwords without manual intervention.

Properties

Name Meaning
Company Id The unique identifier of the company for which the access code duress password will be updated.
Hub Id The identifier of the hub device associated with the access code.
Access Code Id The specific access code's identifier whose duress password needs to be changed.
New Password The new duress password to set; must be a 4-6 digit numeric code.

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the result of the update operation. This typically includes confirmation of the update, possibly the updated access code details or status information returned by the Ajax API.

If the node supports binary data output, it would relate to any files or media returned by the API, but based on the provided code and context, the primary output is JSON structured data reflecting the operation's success or failure.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for authenticating requests to the Ajax API.
  • Depends on the @digital-boss/n8n-designpatterns package for response-operation resolution and execution logic.
  • Uses internal modules for HTTP client communication and state management.
  • The node expects proper configuration of the Ajax API credentials within n8n.

Troubleshooting

  • Invalid Credentials Error: If the API key is missing or incorrect, the node will fail authentication. Ensure the API key credential is correctly configured.
  • Invalid Input Data: Providing invalid IDs (company, hub, access code) or a new password not conforming to the 4-6 digit requirement may cause API errors. Validate inputs before execution.
  • Network Issues: Failures in HTTP communication due to network problems or API downtime will cause execution errors. Check connectivity and API status.
  • Permission Denied: The authenticated user might lack permissions to update access codes for the specified company or hub. Verify user rights in the Ajax system.
