ServiceM8

ServiceM8 Node

Overview

This node integrates with the ServiceM8 platform, allowing users to interact with various ServiceM8 resources such as clients, jobs, emails, SMS, and searches. Specifically, for the Client - Get operation, it retrieves detailed information about a single client identified by a UUID.

Typical use cases include:

  • Fetching client details to enrich workflows with customer data.
  • Automating client data retrieval for reporting or CRM synchronization.
  • Using client information to trigger further actions in a workflow based on client attributes.

Example: A user can input a client's UUID to retrieve their contact details and status, then use that data to send personalized communications or update records in another system.

Properties

Name Meaning
UUID The unique identifier (UUID) of the client to retrieve from ServiceM8. This is a required string input specifying which client’s data to fetch.

Output

The node outputs an array of JSON objects representing the retrieved client data. Each object contains the full details of the client as returned by the ServiceM8 API, including fields such as name, contact information, address, and any other client-specific metadata.

No binary data output is produced by this operation.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the ServiceM8 API.
  • The node makes HTTP requests to ServiceM8 endpoints to perform operations.
  • Proper configuration of the API credentials within n8n is necessary for successful execution.

Troubleshooting

  • Common issues:

    • Providing an invalid or empty UUID will result in errors or no data returned.
    • Network connectivity problems or incorrect API credentials will cause authentication failures.
    • If the specified client UUID does not exist, the API may return an error or empty response.
  • Error messages:

    • "No search query was provided." — Not applicable for this operation but relevant for search operations.
    • Errors related to missing fields or invalid parameters typically indicate misconfiguration of input properties.
    • Authentication errors suggest checking the API key credential setup.
  • Resolution tips:

    • Ensure the UUID is correctly entered and corresponds to an existing client.
    • Verify API credentials are valid and have sufficient permissions.
    • Check network access and ServiceM8 API availability.
