Consume HighLevel API

Overview

This node integrates with the HighLevel API to perform operations on various resources such as Contacts, Opportunities, Tasks, and Calendars. Specifically, for the Contact - Get operation, it retrieves detailed information about a single contact by its unique Contact ID. This is useful in scenarios where you need to fetch up-to-date contact details from your CRM system within an automated workflow.

Practical examples include:

  • Fetching a contact’s profile before sending a personalized email.
  • Retrieving contact data to update or enrich records in another system.
  • Using contact details to trigger conditional logic in automation based on contact attributes.

Properties

Name Meaning
Contact ID The unique identifier of the contact to retrieve. This is required to specify which contact's details should be fetched.

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the full details of the requested contact. This typically includes fields such as name, email, phone number, address, custom fields, and other metadata associated with the contact in HighLevel.

If the node supports binary data output (not indicated here), it would represent attachments or media related to the contact, but this is not evident from the provided code.

Dependencies

  • Requires an active connection to the HighLevel API via an OAuth2 authentication credential.
  • The node uses the base URL https://services.leadconnectorhq.com and expects API version 2021-07-28.
  • Proper API credentials must be configured in n8n to authenticate requests.

Troubleshooting

  • Common issues:

    • Invalid or missing Contact ID will cause the request to fail or return no data.
    • Expired or incorrect API credentials will result in authentication errors.
    • Network connectivity problems can prevent access to the HighLevel API endpoint.
  • Error messages:

    • Authentication errors usually indicate invalid or expired tokens; re-authenticate the API credentials.
    • "Contact not found" errors suggest the Contact ID does not exist or is mistyped.
    • Rate limiting or server errors from the API may require retry logic or waiting before subsequent requests.
