Overview

The node named "Ajax" is designed to interact with the Ajax API, specifically version 1 as indicated. It supports multiple resources and operations, including user-related actions such as requesting a password reset. The node acts as a generic client to perform various API calls against the Ajax backend, making it useful for automating workflows that require integration with Ajax services.

For the User resource and the Request Password Reset operation, this node allows users to initiate a password reset process by providing either a phone number or an email address. This is beneficial in scenarios where automated password recovery is needed, such as in customer support workflows or user account management automation.

Example use case:

  • A workflow triggers when a user requests a password reset on a website, passing their phone number or email to this node, which then sends the reset request to the Ajax system.

Properties

Name Meaning
Phone Or Email The user's phone number or email address used to identify the account for password reset.

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the response from the Ajax API after attempting the password reset request. This typically includes status information indicating whether the reset request was successfully initiated or if there were errors (e.g., user not found).

If the API returns any binary data (not typical for password reset), it would be included in the binary output field, but this operation primarily deals with JSON responses.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the Ajax API.
  • Depends on the @digital-boss/n8n-designpatterns package for handling resource-operation resolution and execution.
  • Uses internal modules for HTTP communication and state management.
  • The node must be configured with valid credentials to access the Ajax backend.

Troubleshooting

  • Common issues:

    • Invalid or missing phone/email input will cause the API to reject the request.
    • Incorrect or expired API credentials will result in authentication errors.
    • Network connectivity problems can prevent the node from reaching the Ajax API.

  • Error messages:

    • Authentication failures usually indicate invalid API keys; verify and update credentials.
    • Validation errors from the API may indicate that the provided phone/email does not match any user.
    • Timeout or connection errors suggest network issues; check connectivity and proxy settings if applicable.
