Overview

This node interacts with the Pax8 quoting API to retrieve sections of a specific quote. It is designed to fetch detailed information about the sections within a given quote, which can be useful for workflows that need to process or analyze quote components individually.

Common scenarios include:

  • Automating the retrieval of quote details for further processing or reporting.
  • Integrating quote section data into CRM or ERP systems.
  • Validating or auditing quote contents programmatically.

For example, a user might input a Quote Id to get all associated sections and then use this data to generate customized proposals or perform pricing analysis.

Properties

Name Meaning
Quote Id The unique identifier of the quote whose sections you want to retrieve. This is a required string input.

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the sections of the specified quote. Each item in the output corresponds to a section within the quote, containing detailed information as provided by the Pax8 quoting API.

If the API supports binary data (not indicated here), it would typically represent attachments or documents related to the quote sections, but based on the code and properties, the output is purely JSON structured data.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the Pax8 quoting API.
  • The node uses the base URL https://api.pax8.com to make requests.
  • The node depends on the @avantguardllc/n8n-openapi-node package and a local OpenAPI specification file (openapi-pax8-quoting.json) to build its request properties and handle API interactions.

Troubleshooting

  • Missing or invalid Quote Id: Ensure the Quote Id property is provided and correctly formatted; otherwise, the API call will fail.
  • Authentication errors: Verify that the API key credential is correctly configured and has sufficient permissions.
  • Network issues: Check connectivity to https://api.pax8.com.
  • Unexpected API responses: Confirm that the quote exists and that the API endpoint is available and functioning.
