Overview

This node, named "Ajax," is designed to interact with the Ajax API (version indicated in the code). It supports multiple resources and operations, including user-related actions such as resetting a bound user's specific keypad password. The node acts as a flexible interface to perform various Ajax API calls within an n8n workflow.

For the User resource and the Reset Bound User Specific Key Pad Password operation, the node allows you to reset the keypad password associated with a particular bound user on a specified hub. This can be useful in scenarios where a user has forgotten their keypad password or when security policies require periodic resets.

Practical example:

  • An administrator wants to reset the keypad password for a user who lost access to their keypad device. By providing the user ID, hub ID, and bound user ID, this node triggers the reset operation via the Ajax API.

Properties

Name Meaning
User Id The unique identifier of the user whose keypad password is to be reset.
Hub Id The unique identifier of the hub where the keypad is registered.
Bound User Id The unique identifier of the bound user associated with the keypad password to reset.

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the response from the Ajax API after attempting to reset the bound user's keypad password. The structure typically includes status information about the success or failure of the operation and any relevant details returned by the API.

If the operation involves binary data (not indicated here), it would be included in the output's binary field; however, for this operation, the output is expected to be purely JSON.

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 backend modules for state management, HTTP client communication, and operation methods.
  • The node expects proper configuration of the Ajax API credentials within n8n.

Troubleshooting

  • Common issues:

    • Invalid or missing API credentials will cause authentication failures.
    • Incorrect or non-existent userId, hubId, or boundUserId values may result in errors or no action.
    • Network connectivity problems can prevent successful API calls.

  • Error messages:

    • Authentication errors typically indicate invalid or expired API keys; verify and update credentials.
    • "Resource not found" or similar errors suggest incorrect IDs; double-check the provided identifiers.
    • Timeout or connection errors imply network issues; ensure stable internet access and correct endpoint configuration.
