Overview

This node integrates with the Namecheap API to perform various user-related operations, including resetting a user's password. The "Reset Password" operation allows you to trigger a password reset process for a specified user by providing their email address. This is useful in scenarios where you need to automate user account management tasks such as initiating password recovery workflows without manual intervention.

Practical examples include:

  • Automatically sending password reset requests when users report lost credentials.
  • Integrating with customer support systems to streamline user account recovery.
  • Managing bulk password resets during security audits or policy updates.

Properties

Name Meaning
Email The email address of the user whose password will be reset. This is a required string input.

Output

The node outputs a JSON object for each input item processed. The structure includes:

  • success: A boolean indicating whether the password reset operation was successful.
  • data: Contains the response data returned from the Namecheap API related to the password reset request.
  • In case of failure (if "Continue On Fail" is enabled), an error field with the error message is included instead.

Example output JSON structure:

{
  "success": true,
  "data": {
    // API response details about the password reset
  }
}

No binary data output is produced by this operation.

Dependencies

  • Requires an active connection to the Namecheap API via an API key credential configured in n8n.
  • The node depends on network access to Namecheap's services.
  • Proper permissions must be granted to the API key to perform user password reset operations.

Troubleshooting

  • Common issues:

    • Invalid or missing email address input will cause the operation to fail.
    • API authentication errors if the provided API key is invalid or lacks necessary permissions.
    • Network connectivity problems can prevent communication with the Namecheap API.

  • Error messages:

    • "The operation "resetPassword" is not known for resource "user"!" indicates a misconfiguration of the operation parameter.
    • API errors returned from Namecheap will be passed through; check the error message for details such as "User not found" or "Invalid email".

  • Resolutions:

    • Ensure the email property is correctly set and valid.
    • Verify that the API key credential is properly configured and has sufficient rights.
    • Check network connectivity and firewall settings.
    • Enable "Continue On Fail" to handle errors gracefully in workflows.
