Gladly

Interact with Gladly API

Overview

This node interacts with the Gladly API to retrieve the content of a specific answer based on its ID, language, and type. It is useful in scenarios where you need to fetch localized answer content for customer support or knowledge base systems that use Gladly. For example, a support workflow could dynamically load an answer in the customer's preferred language and format (public, email, messaging, or reference) to provide consistent and relevant responses.

Properties

Name Meaning
Answer Id The unique identifier of the answer to retrieve.
Language The language code (ISO 639 format) specifying the language of the answer content to fetch.
Type The type of answer content to retrieve. Must be one of: public, email, messaging, or reference.

Output

The node outputs JSON data containing the content of the requested answer filtered by the specified language and type. The exact structure depends on the Gladly API response but typically includes fields such as the answer text and metadata related to the answer content.

No binary data output is indicated.

Dependencies

  • Requires access to the Gladly API endpoint.
  • Needs an API key or authentication token configured in n8n credentials to authorize requests to the Gladly service.
  • The base URL for the API is set to https://petstore3.swagger.io/api/v3 in the bundled code, which is likely a placeholder and should be replaced with the actual Gladly API endpoint.

Troubleshooting

  • Invalid Answer Id: If the provided answer ID does not exist, the API may return an error or empty result. Verify the ID is correct.
  • Unsupported Language: The language must be configured for the organization in Gladly; otherwise, no content will be returned.
  • Invalid Type: The type must be one of the allowed values (public, email, messaging, reference). Using an unsupported type will cause errors.
  • Authentication Errors: Ensure the API key or authentication token is correctly set up in n8n credentials.
  • API Endpoint Misconfiguration: The default base URL points to a Swagger petstore demo. Replace it with the real Gladly API URL to avoid connection failures.
