Current Version

v1.0.0

This initial release is intentionally focused and stable.

What v1.0 Supports

• GET / Read-only operations
• Structured resources for use in n8n workflows
• Clean output shaping for downstream nodes

What v1.0 Does Not Support

• Create, Update, or Delete operations (POST, PUT, PATCH)
• Automation of UI-only TroopTrack features
• Headless browser automation

These capabilities are planned for future versions.

Supported Resources

The node exposes the following resources:

• Events
• Event Types
• Patrols (derived from Event Types parameters)
• Users [Includes Get Many (Simple) for lightweight user listings]
• Other read-only endpoints as defined in v1

Each resource is available through standard n8n Resource / Operation selectors.

Installation

Install via npm (recommended):

npm install n8n-nodes-trooptrack

Or inside a self-hosted n8n environment:

1. Navigate to your n8n user directory (usually ~/.n8n)
2. Run: npm install n8n-nodes-trooptrack
3. Restart n8n

Configuration

You will need your TroopTrack API credentials.

1. In n8n, open Credentials
2. Create a new credential using the TroopTrack API type
3. Enter your API key and base URL

Once configured, the TroopTrack node will appear in the node list.

Example Use Cases

• Generate troop dashboards and reports
• Sync users, patrols, and events into other systems
• Power Google Sheets, Airtable, or databases with TroopTrack data
• Drive notifications and workflows based on TroopTrack activity

Roadmap
