Actions18

Overview

This node integrates with the AvantGuard Pax8 Vendor Provisioning API to create order events within provisioning simulations. It is designed to send structured data representing an order event to the API, which can be useful for automating vendor provisioning workflows, testing provisioning scenarios, or simulating order events in a controlled environment.

Typical use cases include:

  • Automating the creation of order events as part of a larger provisioning automation.
  • Simulating order events to test integrations or workflows without affecting live systems.
  • Adding custom fields dynamically to the order event payload to tailor requests to specific vendor requirements.

Properties

Name Meaning
Additional Body Fields Optional additional JSON fields to include in the request body. Two main options:
- Vendor Id A string identifier for the vendor related to the order event.
- View A JSON object representing detailed provisioning information, including partner and company addresses, provision details, and attempt metadata. The default structure includes empty objects for these nested properties.

The "Additional Body Fields" property allows users to extend the request payload with custom data relevant to their provisioning simulation needs.

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the response from the Pax8 Vendor Provisioning API after creating the order event. This typically includes confirmation details about the created event or error information if the request failed.

No binary data output is indicated by the source code.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the AvantGuard Pax8 Vendor Provisioning API.
  • The base URL for API requests is https://api.pax8.com/v2.
  • The node expects JSON content type and accepts JSON responses.
  • The bundled code depends on an OpenAPI client library (@avantguardllc/n8n-openapi-node) and a local OpenAPI specification file for request building.

Troubleshooting

  • Authentication errors: Ensure that a valid API key credential is configured in n8n for this node.
  • Invalid JSON in 'View' field: The "View" property expects valid JSON; malformed JSON will cause parsing errors.
  • Missing required fields: Although optional fields are supported, some API endpoints may require certain fields; verify the API documentation for mandatory parameters.
  • Network issues: Confirm network connectivity to https://api.pax8.com/v2 and that no firewall or proxy blocks the requests.
