AjaxInstall

Overview

This node, named "Ajax," is designed to interact with a broad Ajax API platform (version indicated in the code). Specifically, for the Employee Management resource and the Update Employee Image operation, it updates an employee's image within a specified company. This is useful in HR systems or employee directories where profile images need to be programmatically updated.

Typical use cases include:

• Automatically updating employee photos from an external system.
• Syncing employee images after bulk imports or changes.
• Integrating with other services that provide employee image data.

Properties

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the result of the update operation. This typically includes confirmation of success, updated employee details, or error information if the update failed.

If the node supports binary data input for the image, it uses the specified property name to locate this data, but the output remains JSON describing the operation outcome.

Dependencies

• Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the Ajax API service.
• Depends on internal backend modules for HTTP communication, state management, and operation execution.
• No additional environment variables are explicitly required beyond the API authentication.

Troubleshooting

• Missing or invalid credentials: Ensure the API key credential is correctly configured and has permissions to update employee data.
• Invalid Company Id or Employee Id: Verify these IDs exist and are correct; otherwise, the API will likely return errors indicating not found.
• Incorrect Image Data Property Name: The property name must match the input containing the image data; otherwise, the node cannot find the image to upload.
• API errors: Network issues or server-side problems may cause failures; check connectivity and API status.
• Data format issues: The image data must be in a supported format; verify the source data before running the node.
