⚠️ The returned URL is time-limited and contains embedded credentials. Treat it as a secret and use it immediately in your workflow — do not log or store it.

🔐 Credentials Setup

Keephub uses two separate credential types — select the matching authentication method from the Authentication dropdown on the Keephub node.

🔑 Keephub Bearer API

✓ Most secure for API integrations
✓ Use existing API tokens from Keephub
✓ Perfect for server-to-server communication
✓ Uses IAuthenticateGeneric — token sent automatically in headers

| Field | Description | | -------------- | ------------------------------------ | | Client URL | Your Keephub instance base URL | | Bearer Token | API bearer token | | Language | Language code (default: en) |

🔒 Keephub Login API

✓ Automatic token generation from username/password
✓ Simple to set up
✓ Token refreshed dynamically per request
✓ Credentials securely stored and encrypted in n8n

| Field | Description | | ------------------ | ----------------------------------------------- | | Client URL | Your Keephub instance base URL | | Login Name | Username for authentication | | Password | Password for authentication | | Auth Endpoint | Custom auth path (default: /authentication) | | Language | Language code (default: en) |

All credentials are encrypted 🔒 and never exposed in logs or workflows.

⚙️ Node Configuration

Authentication

The Keephub node provides an Authentication dropdown at the top of the configuration panel:

• Bearer Token → uses the Keephub Bearer API credential
• Login Credentials → uses the Keephub Login API credential

Input Data

• All parameters support dynamic expressions with {{ }}
• Use previous node outputs: {{ $node["Previous Node"].json.field }}
• Access environment variables: {{ $env.MY_VAR }}

Output Format

{
  "pairedItem": { "item": 0 },
  "json": {
    // API response data
  }
}

Error Handling

Enable "Continue on Error" to handle failures gracefully in your workflow.

• 🐛 Added null check for submitter ID in form submissions (getSubmitterDetails)

• 🏷️ Renamed Task resource display label to Task Template for clarity across all template-managing operations (Create, Delete, Get by ID, Get by Orgunit, Get Progress, Get Status Counts)
• Approve Task and Reject Task intentionally kept as-is — they operate on task instances, not templates; no breaking changes
• 🔍 Added Get Task Template by Task operation — resolves a task template from a task instance ID via /tasks/{id} → /tasktemplates/{templateRef}
• 📋 Added Get Task operation — fetches a task instance directly by its ID from /tasks/{id}
