Overview

This node integrates with the Printcart API, allowing users to manage various resources related to print-on-demand services. Specifically, for the Template resource and the Delete Template operation, it enables deleting a template by its unique identifier.

Common scenarios where this node is beneficial include automating the management of design templates in a print-on-demand workflow, such as removing outdated or unwanted templates programmatically without manual intervention.

Practical example:

  • Automatically delete a template after a project is completed or archived to keep the system clean.
  • Integrate with other automation workflows that update product designs and remove obsolete templates.

Properties

Name Meaning
Authentication Method of authentication; currently supports "API Token" for accessing the Printcart API.
Template ID The unique identifier of the template to be deleted. This is a required string input.

Output

The node outputs a JSON array containing the response from the Printcart API after attempting to delete the specified template. The structure typically includes confirmation of deletion or error details if the operation failed.

Example output JSON (simplified): 

{
  "message": "Template deleted successfully",
  "templateId": "12345"
}

No binary data output is involved in this operation.

Dependencies

  • Requires an active API token credential for authenticating requests to the Printcart API.
  • The node makes HTTP DELETE requests to the endpoint:
    https://{sid}:{secret}@api.printcart.com/v1/templates/{templateId}
    where {sid} and {secret} are obtained from the API token credentials.
  • Ensure the API token has sufficient permissions to delete templates.

Troubleshooting

  • Common issues:

    • Invalid or expired API token leading to authentication failures.
    • Providing an incorrect or non-existent Template ID causing "not found" errors.
    • Network connectivity issues preventing access to the Printcart API.

  • Error messages and resolutions:

    • 401 Unauthorized: Check that the API token credential is valid and has not expired.
    • 404 Not Found: Verify that the Template ID exists and is correct.
    • 500 Internal Server Error: Retry later or contact Printcart support if persistent.
    • Network errors: Confirm internet connectivity and that the Printcart API endpoint is reachable.

  • Enable "Continue On Fail" in the node settings to handle errors gracefully within workflows.
