Interact with Immich, a self-hosted photo and video management solution

Overview

This node operation updates an existing album in the Immich photo and video management system. It allows users to modify album details such as the album name and description by specifying the album ID and the fields to update. This is useful for organizing and managing albums dynamically within automated workflows, for example, renaming an album or updating its description based on user input or other triggers.

Use Case Examples

  1. Updating the name and description of a specific album by providing its ID and new values.
  2. Automating album metadata updates in response to changes in asset collections or user preferences.

Properties

Name Meaning
Album ID The unique identifier of the album to update, required to specify which album to modify.
Update Fields A collection of fields to update on the album, including 'Album Name' and 'Description' to change the album's metadata.
Request Options Settings to control request behavior such as batching, SSL certificate validation, proxy usage, and timeout duration.

Output

JSON

  • albumId - The ID of the updated album.
  • albumName - The updated name of the album.
  • description - The updated description of the album.
  • updatedAt - Timestamp indicating when the album was last updated.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for Immich API authentication.

Troubleshooting

  • Common issues include invalid or missing album ID, which results in errors indicating the album cannot be found.
  • Network or SSL certificate errors may occur if the server is unreachable or SSL validation fails; these can be mitigated by configuring request options such as proxy or ignoring SSL issues.
  • Timeout errors may occur if the server takes too long to respond; increasing the timeout setting can help resolve this.
