Overview
This node integrates with the Sherweb API to retrieve customer data. Specifically, for the "Customer" resource and the "Get Customers" operation, it fetches a list of customers from Sherweb's platform. This is useful in scenarios where you want to automate workflows involving customer management, such as syncing customer data into a CRM, generating reports, or triggering actions based on customer attributes.
Practical examples include:
- Automatically retrieving all customers to update an internal database.
- Fetching customer details to personalize communications or marketing campaigns.
- Integrating customer data into billing or support systems.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| API Type | Selects which Sherweb API to use: either the "Service Provider API" or the "Distributor API". For this operation, "Service Provider API" is relevant. |
Output
The node outputs JSON data representing the retrieved customers. The structure typically includes an array of customer objects, each containing details such as customer ID, name, contact information, and other relevant attributes provided by Sherweb.
If binary data were involved (not indicated here), it would be summarized accordingly, but this operation deals solely with JSON customer data.
Dependencies
- Requires an API authentication token configured via OAuth2 credentials.
- Needs a subscription key credential to access Sherweb's API.
- The base URL for API requests is
https://api.sherweb.com. - Proper configuration of these credentials in n8n is necessary for successful API communication.
Troubleshooting
- Authentication errors: Ensure that the OAuth2 credentials and subscription key are correctly set up and have not expired.
- API type mismatch: Selecting the wrong API type may result in no data or errors; verify that "Service Provider API" is selected for customer retrieval.
- Network issues: Check connectivity to
https://api.sherweb.comand firewall settings. - Rate limits: If many requests are made in a short time, the API might throttle requests; consider adding delays or handling retries.
