Overview
The node is designed to retrieve the access list for a specific quote within the Pax8 quoting system. This operation is useful when you need to see which users or entities have access permissions to a particular quote, enabling management and auditing of quote sharing or visibility.
Common scenarios include:
- Verifying who can view or modify a given quote before proceeding with further actions.
- Auditing access rights for compliance or security reviews.
- Integrating quote access information into workflows that require conditional logic based on user permissions.
For example, a workflow might fetch the quote access list to notify all authorized users about updates or changes to the quote.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Quote Id | The unique identifier of the quote for which the access list is requested. This is a required string input. |
Output
The node outputs JSON data representing the access list associated with the specified quote. This typically includes details about users or groups who have access permissions, such as their identifiers, roles, or access levels.
If the API supports it, the output may contain an array of access entries, each describing an entity's permission related to the quote.
No binary data output is indicated by the source code.
Dependencies
- Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the Pax8 quoting API.
- The node communicates with the Pax8 API endpoint at
https://api.pax8.com. - Proper configuration of the API authentication credentials in n8n is necessary for successful requests.
Troubleshooting
- Missing or invalid Quote Id: Since the Quote Id is required, omitting it or providing an incorrect value will likely cause errors. Ensure the Quote Id is correctly set.
- Authentication errors: If the API key credential is missing, expired, or invalid, the node will fail to authenticate. Verify the API key and its permissions.
- API connectivity issues: Network problems or incorrect base URL configurations can prevent the node from reaching the Pax8 API.
- Permission denied errors: If the authenticated user does not have rights to access the quote's access list, the API will return an error. Confirm that the API key has sufficient privileges.
