Overview
This node integrates with the FreshBooks API to manage clients, projects, services, time tracking, and users. Specifically, the Client - Delete operation allows users to delete a client from their FreshBooks account by specifying the client's Account ID. This is useful for cleaning up or removing outdated or incorrect client records from your accounting system.
Practical examples include:
- Removing a client who is no longer active or relevant.
- Automating client data cleanup as part of a larger workflow.
- Integrating with CRM systems to sync client deletions.

Output
The node outputs JSON data representing the response from the FreshBooks API after attempting to delete the client. Typically, this will include confirmation of deletion or an error message if the deletion failed.
