Overview

The node interacts with the Mindz API to manage various resources, including courses. Specifically, for the Course - Create operation, it allows users to create a new course within the Mindz platform by specifying essential details such as the course name and description. This is useful in scenarios where an organization wants to automate the creation of educational content or training modules programmatically, for example, when onboarding new training materials or launching new courses dynamically based on external triggers.

Practical examples:

  • Automatically creating a new course when a new training program is approved in an HR system.
  • Bulk creating multiple courses from a spreadsheet or database import.
  • Integrating course creation into a larger workflow that manages learning paths or certifications.

Properties

Name Meaning
Name The title or name of the course to be created. This is a required field.
Description A textual description of the course. Optional but helps provide more context about the course.

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the newly created course object returned by the Mindz API. This typically includes identifiers, metadata, and any other relevant information about the course as stored in the Mindz system.

If the node supports binary data output (not indicated here), it would represent associated files or media related to the course, but this is not evident from the provided code.

Dependencies

  • Requires an active connection to the Mindz API via an OAuth2-based API key credential configured in n8n.
  • The node depends on the Mindz API being accessible and the user having appropriate permissions to create courses.
  • No additional external services are indicated beyond the Mindz API.

Troubleshooting

  • Common issues:

    • Missing or invalid API credentials will prevent authentication.
    • Required fields like "Name" must be provided; otherwise, the API may reject the request.
    • Network connectivity problems can cause timeouts or failures.
    • Insufficient permissions for the authenticated user to create courses.

  • Error messages:

    • Authentication errors: Check that the API key or OAuth token is valid and has not expired.
    • Validation errors: Ensure all required properties are set correctly.
    • API rate limits: If too many requests are made in a short period, wait or adjust usage.

Resolving these usually involves verifying credentials, input data correctness, and network status.
