Actions16

Overview

This node integrates with the Pax8 quoting API to manage quotes programmatically. Specifically, the "Delete Quote By Id" operation allows users to delete a quote by providing its unique identifier. This is useful in scenarios where quotes are no longer needed or were created in error and need to be removed from the system.

Practical examples include:

  • Automating cleanup of outdated or invalid quotes.
  • Managing quote lifecycle within a sales or procurement workflow.
  • Integrating with other systems to synchronize quote deletions.

Properties

Name Meaning
Quote Id The unique identifier of the quote to delete. This is a required string input.

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the response from the Pax8 API after attempting to delete the specified quote. Typically, this will confirm whether the deletion was successful or provide error details if it failed.

If the API supports binary data responses (not evident here), such data would be included accordingly, but based on the static code and operation, output is expected to be JSON only.

Dependencies

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

Troubleshooting

  • Invalid Quote Id: If the provided Quote Id does not exist or is malformed, the API may return an error indicating the quote could not be found. Verify the Quote Id before attempting deletion.
  • Authentication Errors: Missing or invalid API credentials will cause authentication failures. Ensure the API key credential is correctly configured.
  • Network Issues: Connectivity problems can prevent the node from reaching the Pax8 API endpoint. Check network settings and proxy configurations if applicable.
  • API Rate Limits: Excessive requests might trigger rate limiting. Implement retries or backoff strategies as needed.
