Interact with mittwald mStudio API

Overview

This node operation allows users to abort a running Cronjob execution by specifying the relevant identifiers. It is useful in scenarios where a scheduled task or job needs to be stopped prematurely, for example, if it is stuck, running longer than expected, or triggered by mistake. Practical applications include managing automated workflows that rely on timed executions, enabling manual intervention to halt problematic jobs.

Properties

Name Meaning
Cronjob Id The unique identifier of the CronjobExecution instance that you want to abort.
Execution Id The specific execution ID of the Cronjob run that should be aborted.

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the result of the abort request. This typically includes confirmation of the abort action or details about the aborted execution status. There is no indication of binary data output for this operation.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for authentication with the mittwald mStudio API.
  • The node communicates with the mittwald API endpoint at https://api.mittwald.de.
  • Proper configuration of the API credentials within n8n is necessary for successful requests.

Troubleshooting

  • Common issues:

    • Providing incorrect or non-existent Cronjob Id or Execution Id will likely cause the abort request to fail.
    • Missing or invalid API authentication token can lead to authorization errors.
    • Network connectivity problems may prevent communication with the mittwald API.
  • Error messages and resolutions:

    • "Unauthorized" or "Authentication failed": Verify that the API key credential is correctly set up and has sufficient permissions.
    • "Cronjob not found" or similar: Double-check the Cronjob Id and Execution Id values for accuracy.
    • Timeouts or connection errors: Ensure stable internet connection and that the mittwald API service is operational.
