Qlynk - Create Category
Use this tool to create a new category for organizing your short links. Provide a name, and optionally customize the color and icon. Returns the created category with its ID.
Overview
This node creates a new category for organizing short links in the Qlynk platform. It allows users to specify a category name, and optionally customize the category's color and icon. This is useful for users who want to manage and group their short links efficiently by categorizing them visually and contextually. For example, a user can create categories like 'Social Media' with a blue color and a folder icon to organize all social media-related links.
Use Case Examples
- Creating a category named 'Social Media' with a blue color (#3b82f6) and a folder icon to group all social media links.
- Creating a category named 'Promotions' with a red color and a star icon to highlight promotional links.

Troubleshooting
- If the 'name' parameter is missing or empty, the node throws an error stating that the 'name' parameter is required. Ensure this field is filled.
- If the API request fails, the node can either stop execution or continue on failure based on the node's configuration. Errors are returned in the output JSON under an 'error' property.
