Overview

This node operation updates an existing activity in the MOCO system. It allows users to modify details such as the date, associated project and task, time spent (in seconds), description, and additional optional fields like billable status, remote identifiers, remote service, remote URL, and tags. This operation is useful for keeping activity records accurate and up-to-date, for example, when correcting logged time or updating activity descriptions after the fact.

Use Case Examples

  1. Updating the time spent on a specific activity to reflect actual work done.
  2. Changing the project or task associated with an activity to correct misclassification.
  3. Adding or modifying tags or remote service information for better tracking and integration with other systems.

Troubleshooting

  • Ensure the Activity ID provided is valid and exists in the MOCO system; otherwise, the update will fail with a not found error.
  • Verify that the date is in the correct YYYY-MM-DD format to avoid validation errors.
  • Check that the project and task IDs correspond to existing entries, especially if specifying them manually or via expressions.
  • If the API key credential is missing or invalid, authentication errors will occur; ensure proper credential configuration in n8n.
  • When using optional fields, ensure their values conform to expected types and formats to prevent request rejection.
