Overview
This node integrates with the HaloPSA API to update an existing Webhook Event. It allows users to modify properties of a webhook event such as its activation status, category, description, name, and type by specifying the unique identifier (UUID) of the webhook event they want to update.
Common scenarios where this node is beneficial include:
- Managing webhook events dynamically in response to changes in your system or workflow.
- Activating or deactivating webhook events without manual intervention.
- Updating metadata like descriptions or categories to keep webhook events organized and meaningful.
- Renaming webhook events or changing their types to reflect evolving integration requirements.
For example, you might use this node to deactivate a webhook event temporarily during maintenance or update its description to clarify its purpose for team members.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Webhook Event ID | The UUID of the webhook event to update. This uniquely identifies which webhook event to modify. |
| Update Fields | A collection of fields to update on the webhook event. Options include: |
| - Active | Boolean indicating whether the webhook event is active (true) or inactive (false). |
| - Category | A string representing the category assigned to the webhook event. |
| - Description | A string describing the webhook event. |
| - Event Name | The name of the webhook event as a string. |
| - Event Type | The type of the webhook event as a string. |
Output
The node outputs JSON data representing the updated webhook event object returned from the HaloPSA API after the update operation completes successfully. This typically includes all current properties of the webhook event, reflecting any changes made.
If the node supports binary data output, it is not indicated in the provided code or property definitions, so the output is expected to be purely JSON.
Dependencies
- Requires an active connection to the HaloPSA API using an API key credential configured in n8n.
- The node depends on the HaloPSA API endpoint for webhook events to perform update operations.
- No additional external services or environment variables are explicitly required beyond the API authentication.
Troubleshooting
- Invalid Webhook Event ID: If the provided UUID does not correspond to an existing webhook event, the API will likely return an error. Verify that the ID is correct and exists in your HaloPSA instance.
- Insufficient Permissions: Ensure the API key used has permissions to update webhook events; otherwise, authorization errors may occur.
- Malformed Update Fields: Providing invalid values or unsupported field names in the update collection can cause the API to reject the request. Double-check field names and value types.
- Network Issues: Connectivity problems between n8n and the HaloPSA API can cause timeouts or failures. Confirm network access and API availability.
- API Rate Limits: Frequent updates may hit rate limits imposed by HaloPSA. Monitor API usage and adjust accordingly.
