Consume Summa API (v.0.1.7)

Actions182

Overview

This node integrates with the Summa API to perform various telecommunication-related operations. Specifically, for the SS Subscription resource and the Get Call Forward Information By MSISDN operation, it retrieves call forwarding details associated with a given MSISDN (mobile phone number). This is useful in scenarios where you need to programmatically check or audit call forwarding settings for subscribers in a telecom environment.

Practical examples include:

  • Telecom operators verifying if a subscriber has active call forwarding.
  • Customer support systems fetching call forwarding info to assist users.
  • Automated workflows that adjust services based on call forwarding status.

Properties

Name Meaning
Msisdn The mobile phone number (MSISDN) for which to retrieve call forwarding information. This is a required string input.

Output

The node outputs JSON data containing the call forwarding information related to the specified MSISDN. The exact structure depends on the Summa API response but typically includes details such as forwarding numbers, activation status, and types of call forwarding configured.

If the node supports binary data output, it would represent any associated binary content from the API response; however, this operation primarily returns structured JSON data about call forwarding.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the Summa API.
  • The node uses an HTTP client internally to communicate with the Summa backend service.
  • Proper configuration of the Summa API credentials within n8n is necessary before use.

Troubleshooting

  • Common issues:

    • Invalid or missing MSISDN parameter will cause the operation to fail.
    • Authentication errors if the API key credential is incorrect or expired.
    • Network connectivity problems between n8n and the Summa API endpoint.
  • Error messages:

    • Authentication failures usually indicate invalid credentials; verify and update the API key.
    • "Resource not found" or similar errors may mean the MSISDN does not exist or no call forwarding info is available.
    • Timeout or connection errors suggest network issues; check firewall and internet access.

Links and References

  • Summa API official documentation (refer to your organization's internal or public API docs).
  • n8n documentation on creating and using API credentials.
  • General telecom resources on MSISDN and call forwarding concepts.
