What Is a Target?
In Cisco Workflows, a target defines the external system that a workflow communicates with. Boundless modules require a Meraki API target to read and write configurations in your Meraki dashboard.
How to Create a Meraki API Target
- In the Meraki dashboard, go to Automation → Targets
- Click New Target
- Select Meraki as the target type
- Configure the target with your Meraki API credentials
- Save the target
For detailed instructions, refer to the official Cisco Meraki Targets documentation.
Finding Your Organization ID
Your Organization ID is required when running any Boundless module:
- In the Meraki dashboard, go to Organization → Overview
- Scroll to the bottom of the page
- Your Organization ID is displayed there
Permissions
Ensure the API key used for your target has sufficient permissions for the operations you plan to perform. For VLAN and switch port configuration, the API key must have full organization admin access to the target network.
Troubleshooting
"Target not reachable" error
Verify that your API key is valid and has not been revoked. You can test this by making a simple API call to https://api.meraki.com/api/v1/organizations with your key.
"Insufficient permissions" error
Check that the API key owner has admin-level access to the target organization and network.
