Gladly

Interact with Gladly API

Overview

The node interacts with the Gladly API to update existing tasks. Specifically, for the "Tasks" resource and the "Update Task" operation, it allows users to modify details of a task identified by its unique ID. This is useful in workflows where task management automation is needed, such as updating task statuses, descriptions, or other attributes based on external triggers or data changes.

Practical examples include:

  • Automatically updating a customer support task status when an email is received.
  • Modifying task details in response to changes in a CRM system.
  • Synchronizing task information between Gladly and other project management tools.

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the updated task object returned from the Gladly API. This typically includes all relevant fields of the task after the update has been applied, such as task ID, status, description, timestamps, and any other task-related metadata.

If the node supports binary data output (not evident from the provided code), it would represent attachments or files related to the task, but no such indication is present here.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the Gladly API.
  • The base URL for API requests is set to https://petstore3.swagger.io/api/v3 (likely a placeholder; should be replaced with the actual Gladly API endpoint).
  • Uses an OpenAPI specification (openapi.json) bundled with the node to define available operations and properties.

Troubleshooting

  • Common issues:

    • Invalid or missing Task Id will cause the update operation to fail.
    • Incorrect or expired API credentials will result in authentication errors.
    • Using the placeholder base URL instead of the real Gladly API endpoint will lead to connection failures.
  • Error messages:

    • Authentication errors: Check that the API key credential is correctly configured and valid.
    • Not found errors: Verify that the Task Id exists in the Gladly system.
    • Validation errors: Ensure that all required fields for the update are provided and correctly formatted.
