Overview

This node operation sets the description of a specified group in a messaging or collaboration platform. It is useful for updating or adding descriptive information to groups, which can help in managing and identifying groups more effectively. For example, a user can update the description of a project team group to reflect the current project status or goals.

Use Case Examples

  1. Updating the description of a project team group to include the latest project milestones.
  2. Setting a description for a newly created group to specify its purpose and members.

Properties

Name Meaning
Session The session name used to authenticate and identify the user session for the operation.
Id The unique identifier of the group whose description is to be set.
Description The new description text to set for the specified group.
Request Options Additional options for the request such as batching, SSL certificate handling, proxy settings, and timeout configuration.

Output

JSON

  • description - The updated description of the group after the operation.

Dependencies

  • Requires an authenticated session to interact with the messaging platform's API.

Troubleshooting

  • Ensure the session name is valid and authenticated; otherwise, the request will fail due to authentication errors.
  • Verify the group ID is correct and the user has permission to modify the group description.
  • If SSL issues occur, consider enabling the option to ignore SSL certificate validation, but be aware of security risks.
  • Check proxy settings if network requests fail due to connectivity issues.
  • Adjust timeout settings if the server response is slow to avoid premature request abortion.
