• Add organization checklist promotion endpoints with workflow coverage.

Authentication

The NinjaOne API uses OAuth 2.0. Which flow you need depends on what you want to do:

Grant Type	NinjaOne app type	Can do	Cannot do
Authorization Code (default)	"Web"	Everything, including create/update tickets and add comments	—
Client Credentials	"API Services (machine-to-machine)"	Read/monitoring, device management	Ticket writes (API returns HTTP 405)

Ticket Create/Update/Comment require the Authorization Code flow. NinjaOne rejects these write operations with 405 Method Not Allowed when you authenticate with Client Credentials. If you only read data or manage devices, Client Credentials is fine.

Setup Instructions

1. Create NinjaOne OAuth2 API Credentials in n8n:

   • Go to Credentials in n8n
   • Add NinjaOne OAuth2 API credential type
   • Choose the Grant Type that matches your use case (Authorization Code for ticketing)
   • For the Authorization Code flow, register a Web app in NinjaOne and set its Redirect URI to <YOUR_N8N_URL>/rest/oauth2-credential/callback, then click Connect in n8n to authorize

2. Regional Endpoint Configuration:

   • Base URL: The host you use to log in to NinjaOne, with no trailing slash. The API and OAuth token endpoint share this host.
     • North America: https://app.ninjaone.com (or https://us2.ninjaone.com)
     • Europe: https://eu.ninjaone.com
     • Oceania: https://oc.ninjaone.com
     • Canada: https://ca.ninjaone.com
   • Access Token URL: <Base URL>/ws/oauth/token — must be on the same host as the Base URL (e.g. https://eu.ninjaone.com/ws/oauth/token).
   • Client ID: Your NinjaOne application client ID
   • Client Secret: Your NinjaOne application client secret
   • Scope: monitoring management (required for full API access)

   There is no api.ninjaone.com host. Earlier versions defaulted to that, which caused every request (including ticket updates) to fail. Make sure the Base URL matches your dashboard host.

3. Obtain Application Credentials:

   • Log in to your NinjaOne account
   • Navigate to Administration > Apps > API > Client App IDs
   • Click Add and choose API Services (machine-to-machine)
   • Select the scopes you need and enable the Client Credentials grant type
   • Copy the Client ID and Client Secret to n8n
   • Use the Test button on the credential to confirm authentication works

Ticket Management

Complete CRUD Operations

Create Tickets

{
  "clientId": 1,
  "ticketFormId": 1,
  "summary": "Server maintenance required",
  "description": "Scheduled maintenance for production server",
  "severity": "MODERATE",
  "priority": "HIGH",
  "type": "TASK",
  "status": "1000"
}

Update Tickets

Updates are partial — only the fields you add under Update Fields are sent, so existing ticket data is never overwritten with defaults. Supported fields include:

• Summary, status, severity, priority, type
• Organization assignment and time tracking
• CC lists (UIDs and email addresses)
• Tags, attributes, and custom fields
• Parent ticket relationships for sub-tickets
• Version (optional, for instances that enforce optimistic locking — supply the value from a prior Get)

Comment System

• Add public/private comments to tickets
• Time tracking integration for billable hours
• Support for HTML formatted content

Board-Based Listing

• Retrieve tickets by ticketing board ID
• Pagination and filtering support
• Sorting and search capabilities
• Custom column selection

Field Mapping Accuracy

All ticket operations use field mappings verified against real NinjaOne API responses:

• Severity Levels: NONE, MINOR, MODERATE, MAJOR, CRITICAL
• Status IDs: 1000 (New), 2000 (Open), 3000 (Waiting for Customer), 4000 (Hold)
• Ticket Types: PROBLEM, TASK, QUESTION
• Summary Field: Uses 'summary' (not 'subject') to match API response structure
• Organization Assignment: Department/team assignment support
• Time Tracking: Seconds-based time tracking for accurate billing

Device Management

Available Operations

• Get Device – Retrieve detailed device information by ID
• List Devices – Get all devices with filtering and pagination
• Device Activities – Monitor device activity logs and events
• Device Alerts – Access critical alerts and notifications
• Custom Fields – Read and update device custom field data
• Hardware Inventory – Disks, processors, network interfaces, volumes
• Software Management – Installed software, patches, and updates

Troubleshooting

400 Bad Request : Verify all required fields are provided for the operation. Check that the Base URL matches your regional endpoint and doesn't contain trailing slashes.

401 Unauthorized : Confirm OAuth2 credentials are correct and have appropriate scopes. Make sure the Base URL and Access Token URL are on the same regional host. Use the credential Test button to verify the Client Credentials flow before running the node.

405 Method Not Allowed : Most commonly seen on ticket Create/Update/Comment — these require the Authorization Code grant type. NinjaOne rejects ticket writes made with Client Credentials. Switch your credential's Grant Type to Authorization Code (using a NinjaOne "Web" app) and reconnect. Also ensure you're on the latest version, which fixed incorrect HTTP methods for some operations.

TLS/SSL Errors : Verify the Base URL uses https and matches your actual NinjaOne regional domain. Check network connectivity and proxy settings.
