Overview
This node interacts with the TANSS API to manage PC or server records. It supports operations to create, retrieve, update, and delete PCs within the TANSS system. This is useful for automating IT asset management workflows, such as syncing inventory data, updating device details, or removing decommissioned machines.
Practical examples:
- Automatically deleting a PC record when it is retired.
- Updating PC information like location or assigned employee after an audit.
- Creating new PC entries when onboarding new hardware.
- Fetching PC details by ID for reporting or integration purposes.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| API Token | The API token used to authenticate requests to the TANSS API. |
| PC ID | The unique identifier of the PC or server to fetch, update, or delete. |
Output
The node outputs JSON data representing the response from the TANSS API for the requested operation. For example:
- On "Delete PC", the output will typically confirm deletion success or provide related status.
- On "Get PC by ID", the output contains the PC's detailed information.
- On "Update PC" and "Create PC", the output returns the updated or newly created PC data.
No binary data output is produced by this node.
Dependencies
- Requires access to the TANSS API endpoint.
- Needs an API token credential configured in n8n to authenticate requests.
- The base URL for the TANSS API is obtained from the credentials configuration.
Troubleshooting
- No credentials returned!: Ensure that the API token credential is properly set up and connected.
- No data provided for updating/creating the PC.: When performing update or create operations, make sure to supply at least one field in the PC Data property.
- Failed to execute [operation]: [error message]: Indicates an error during the HTTP request. Check the API token validity, network connectivity, and that the PC ID exists for operations requiring it.
- The operation "[operation]" is not recognized.: This error occurs if an unsupported operation value is passed; verify the operation selection.
