Overview
This node operation, Get Poll Detail under the Group resource, is designed to retrieve detailed information about a specific poll within a group. It is useful in scenarios where users need to fetch the current state, options, votes, or metadata of a particular poll identified by its unique Poll ID.
Typical use cases include:
- Monitoring poll results in real-time.
- Integrating poll data into reports or dashboards.
- Triggering workflows based on poll outcomes.
- Archiving poll details for record-keeping.
For example, a community manager might use this node to automatically fetch and display poll results after a voting period ends, or a marketing team could analyze poll responses to gauge customer preferences.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Poll ID | The unique identifier of the poll within the group whose details are to be retrieved. This is a required string input. |
Output
The node outputs JSON data containing the detailed information of the specified poll. The structure typically includes:
- Poll metadata (e.g., title, creation date, status).
- Poll options and their respective vote counts.
- Information about voters or participation statistics.
- Any additional attributes related to the poll's configuration or results.
If the poll includes attachments or media, the node may also output binary data representing those files, allowing further processing or storage.
Dependencies
- Requires an API key credential or similar authentication token configured in n8n to access the external service managing group polls.
- Depends on network connectivity to the service endpoint that provides poll details.
- May require environment variables or node credentials set up for authorization.
Troubleshooting
Common Issues
- Invalid Poll ID: If the provided Poll ID does not exist or is malformed, the node will fail to retrieve poll details.
- Authentication Errors: Missing or incorrect API credentials can cause authorization failures.
- Network Problems: Connectivity issues or service downtime will prevent successful data retrieval.
- Permission Denied: The authenticated user may lack permissions to access the poll details.
Error Messages and Resolutions
- "Poll not found": Verify the Poll ID is correct and exists in the target group.
- "Unauthorized" or "Authentication failed": Check that the API key or authentication token is valid and properly configured.
- "Network error" or "Timeout": Ensure stable internet connection and that the external service is operational.
- "Access denied": Confirm that the user associated with the credentials has sufficient rights to view the poll.
