Overview
The node integrates with the Vista Social platform to retrieve data related to various social media entities. Specifically, for the Profile resource with the List operation, it fetches a list of user profiles filtered by a specified Group ID. This is useful when you want to gather profile information associated with a particular group on Vista Social.
Common scenarios include:
- Extracting all profiles belonging to a specific social media group for analysis or reporting.
- Automating workflows that require up-to-date profile data from a targeted group.
- Integrating profile data into CRM or marketing tools based on group membership.
Example: You have a social media group representing a customer segment and want to pull all member profiles to personalize communications.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Group ID | The unique identifier of the group to filter profiles by. Only profiles belonging to this group will be listed. This property is required. |
Output
The node outputs JSON data containing an array of profile objects corresponding to the specified group. Each profile object typically includes details such as profile ID, name, username, and other relevant metadata provided by Vista Social.
If the node supports binary data output (not indicated in the provided code), it would represent media or files associated with profiles, but this is not evident here.
Dependencies
- Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the Vista Social API.
- The base URL for API requests is
https://vistasocial.com/api/integration. - Proper configuration of the API authentication credential within n8n is necessary.
Troubleshooting
- Missing or invalid Group ID: Since Group ID is required, omitting it or providing an incorrect value will likely cause errors or empty results. Ensure the Group ID is valid and correctly entered.
- Authentication errors: If the API key credential is missing or invalid, the node will fail to connect. Verify the API key and its permissions.
- API rate limits or connectivity issues: Network problems or hitting API rate limits may cause request failures. Check network connectivity and API usage quotas.
- Unexpected response structure: If Vista Social changes their API response format, the node might not parse data correctly. Monitor for updates or errors indicating parsing issues.
