Overview

The "Update Status" operation of the Reservation resource in this node allows users to change the status of an existing RV rental reservation. This is useful for managing booking workflows such as confirming a pending reservation, cancelling a confirmed booking, or blocking a reservation slot. The operation supports adding optional notes and metadata to track the reason or context for the status change.

Typical use cases include:

  • Customer service agents updating reservation statuses during onboarding or cancellation.
  • Automated workflows that adjust booking states based on external triggers or business rules.
  • Maintaining an audit trail with additional notes or metadata about status changes.

For example, when a customer confirms their booking, this node can update the reservation status from "pending" to "confirmed" and add a note explaining the confirmation.

Properties

Name Meaning
Reservation ID The unique identifier of the reservation to update (e.g., numeric ID like "14").
Status The new status to set for the reservation. Options: Pending, Confirmed, Blocked, Cancelled.
Additional Fields Optional extra data including:
- Notes Text notes about the status change (e.g., reason for cancellation).
- Metadata Additional metadata as a JSON object for custom tracking or integration purposes.

Output

The node outputs a single JSON object representing the updated reservation status response from the RV Rental API. This typically includes confirmation of the updated status and any related reservation details returned by the API.

No binary data output is produced by this operation.

Example output structure (simplified):

{
  "reservation_id": "14",
  "status": "confirmed",
  "notes": "Customer confirmed via phone call",
  "metadata": {
    "updatedBy": "agent123"
  }
}

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential configured for the RV Rental API with appropriate permissions.
  • The node communicates with the RV Rental system's REST API endpoint using authenticated HTTP requests.
  • Proper network connectivity to the RV Rental API base URL is necessary.

Troubleshooting

  • Authentication failed: If the API credentials are invalid or missing, the node will throw an authentication error. Verify the API token and base URL configuration.
  • Reservation not found: If the provided reservation ID does not exist, a "not found" error is thrown. Check that the reservation ID is correct.
  • Invalid data provided: If required fields are missing or data formats are incorrect, the API returns a validation error. Ensure all required properties are set correctly.
  • Server errors: Temporary server issues may cause 5xx errors. Retry after some time or check the RV Rental system status.
  • Network issues: Communication errors indicate possible network problems or service disruptions. Verify connectivity and retry.
