Carbone

Node for the Carbone API

Overview

The "Delete Template" operation of the Carbone n8n node allows users to delete a template from the Carbone API by specifying its ID. This is useful in scenarios where you need to manage and clean up templates that are no longer needed, ensuring your Carbone workspace remains organized and up-to-date.

Practical examples:

  • Automatically removing outdated report templates after generating new versions.
  • Cleaning up test or temporary templates as part of a workflow automation process.

Properties

Name Type Meaning
ID String The unique identifier of the template to be deleted. Required to specify which template to remove from Carbone.

Output

The output for the "Delete Template" operation is structured as follows:

  • json: Contains the response from the Carbone API after attempting to delete the specified template. The exact structure depends on the Carbone API's response, but typically includes status information about the deletion request.
  • binary: Not used for this operation.

Dependencies

  • External Service: Requires access to the Carbone API.
  • Credentials: You must configure the carboneApi credential in n8n to authenticate requests.
  • n8n Configuration: No additional environment variables are required beyond the Carbone API credentials.

Troubleshooting

Common Issues:

  • Missing or Invalid ID: If the "ID" property is empty or incorrect, the node will fail to locate and delete the template.
  • Authentication Errors: If the Carbone API credentials are missing or invalid, the node will not be able to perform the deletion.
  • API Connectivity: Network issues or Carbone API downtime can cause failures.

Error Messages:

  • "No binary data exists on item!": Not relevant for this operation, but may appear if the wrong operation is selected.
  • Errors from the Carbone API (e.g., "Template not found"): Ensure the provided ID is correct and the template exists.

How to resolve:

  • Double-check the "ID" value.
  • Verify Carbone API credentials in n8n.
  • Ensure network connectivity to the Carbone API endpoint.
