Overview

This node integrates with the Actaport API, a cloud-based legal practice management software. Specifically, the "Dokumente" resource with the "Update Metadata" operation allows users to update metadata fields of an existing document in Actaport. This is useful for keeping document information current without altering the document content itself.

Common scenarios include:

  • Updating the name, description, or type of a document after initial upload.
  • Changing the status of a document to reflect its current workflow state.
  • Modifying timestamps related to when the document was created or last modified.

Practical example:
A law firm automates their document management by updating document metadata such as status and description whenever a case progresses, ensuring all team members have up-to-date information on each document.

Properties

Name Meaning
Document ID The unique identifier of the document to update (required).
Name The new name/title of the document.
Beschreibung Description or summary of the document's content or purpose.
Typ The type/category of the document.
Status Current status of the document (e.g., draft, final, archived).
Erzeugt Am/Modifiziert Timestamp indicating when the document was created or last modified.

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the response from the Actaport API after updating the document metadata. This typically includes the updated document's metadata fields confirming the changes.

No binary data output is involved in this operation since it only updates metadata, not the document file itself.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the Actaport API.
  • The base URL for the Actaport API must be configured in the credentials.
  • The node sends HTTP PUT requests to the endpoint /documents/{documentId}/metadata with the updated metadata in the request body.

Troubleshooting

  • Missing Document ID: The operation requires a valid Document ID. Ensure this is provided; otherwise, the API will return an error.
  • Invalid or expired API credentials: Authentication failures will prevent the update. Verify that the API key is correct and has necessary permissions.
  • Invalid field values: Providing unsupported or incorrectly formatted values (e.g., invalid date format for timestamp) may cause the API to reject the request.
  • Network issues: Connectivity problems can cause timeouts or failed requests. Check network access to the Actaport API endpoint.
  • API rate limits: Excessive requests might be throttled by the API. Implement retry logic or reduce request frequency if needed.
