Overview

This node interacts with the LEDGERS API to perform various operations related to contacts, including retrieving contact details. Specifically, the "Get Contact" operation fetches detailed information about a contact by its unique ID. This is useful in scenarios where you need to retrieve and use contact data within an automation workflow, such as syncing contact info with other systems, generating reports, or triggering actions based on contact attributes.

Practical examples:

  • Fetching a customer's contact details before sending a personalized email.
  • Retrieving contact information to update records in a CRM or ERP system.
  • Using contact data to validate or enrich order processing workflows.

Properties

Name Meaning
Contact ID The unique identifier of the contact to retrieve. This is a required string input.

Output

The node outputs JSON data containing the full details of the requested contact. The structure typically includes fields such as contact name, addresses (billing and shipping), emails, phone numbers, GSTIN, and other relevant contact metadata as returned by the LEDGERS API.

If the node supports binary data output, it would generally represent attachments or documents related to the contact, but this specific operation focuses on JSON contact data only.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the LEDGERS API.
  • Requires valid user credentials (email and password) for login to obtain an API token.
  • The node makes HTTP requests to the LEDGERS API endpoints to fetch contact data.
  • Proper configuration of the API URL and credentials in n8n is necessary.

Troubleshooting

  • Authentication failures: If the node returns errors related to authentication, verify that the API key, email, and password credentials are correct and have not expired.
  • Invalid Contact ID: Providing a non-existent or malformed contact ID will result in no data or error responses. Ensure the contact ID is valid.
  • API connectivity issues: Network problems or incorrect API URLs can cause request failures. Confirm network access and endpoint correctness.
  • Unexpected response structure: If the API changes its response format, the node might fail to parse data correctly. Check for updates or API version changes.
