DougsInstall

Overview

The node named "Dougs" is designed to manipulate data related to the Dougs platform, which appears to be a financial or business management service. It supports multiple resources such as expense reports, mileage allowances, operations, and invoices, with various operations including create, validate, delete, and upload.

Specifically, for the Validate operation under the Operation resource, the node validates an existing operation entity within a specified company context. This can be useful in workflows where you need to confirm that an operation's data meets certain criteria or is ready for further processing, such as approval or posting to accounting systems.

Practical examples:

• Validating an operation before finalizing it in your accounting workflow.
• Ensuring data integrity of operations imported from external sources.
• Automating checks on operations to trigger alerts or downstream processes only if validation passes.

Properties

The Company property uses a resource locator input type allowing selection either from a predefined list of companies or by directly entering a company ID string.

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the result of the validation process for the specified operation. This typically includes details about the operation's status, any validation errors or warnings, and confirmation if the operation is valid.

If the node supports binary data output (not explicitly shown in the provided code), it would likely relate to documents or attachments associated with the operation, but this is not evident here.

Dependencies

• Requires an API key credential for authentication with the Dougs platform.
• Connects to the Dougs API endpoint at https://app.dougs.fr.
• Uses internal methods and handlers defined in bundled resources and properties files (./resources and ./properties).
• Needs proper configuration of credentials within n8n to authenticate requests.

Troubleshooting

• Handler missing error: If the node throws an error stating a handler is missing for the given resource and operation, ensure that the resource and operation names are correctly set and supported by the node version.
• Authentication failures: Verify that the API key credential is correctly configured and has sufficient permissions.
• Invalid company or operation ID: Make sure the company ID and operation ID exist and are correct; otherwise, the API may return errors or empty results.
• Network issues: Confirm network connectivity to https://app.dougs.fr and that no firewall or proxy blocks the requests.
