Consume Red Stage API

Actions20

Overview

The RedStage node for n8n allows you to interact with the Red Stage API, specifically targeting inventory management.
With the Inventory → List operation, this node retrieves inventory data from Red Stage, optionally filtered by SKUs, warehouse, or last update date.
This is useful for synchronizing product stock levels, monitoring inventory changes, or integrating warehouse data into other workflows.

Example scenarios:

  • Fetching all inventory items to update a central database.
  • Retrieving inventory for specific SKUs after a restock.
  • Getting only recently updated inventory items for incremental synchronization.

Properties

Name Type Meaning
Additional Fields Collection A group of optional filters and parameters for the inventory listing.
Inventory SKUs JSON Array of SKU strings. If specified, returns inventory only for these products.
Warehouse ID Number Numeric ID of the warehouse. If omitted, sums across all warehouses are returned.
Last Update Date DateTime Only return SKUs updated since this date/time.

Output

The output is a JSON array containing inventory records as returned by the Red Stage API.
Each item in the array represents an inventory entry, typically including fields such as SKU, quantity, warehouse information, and timestamps (exact structure depends on the API response).

If an error occurs and "Continue On Fail" is enabled, the output will include objects with an error field describing the issue.

Dependencies

  • External Service: Requires access to the Red Stage API.
  • Credentials: You must configure the redStageApi credential in n8n.
  • Environment: No special environment variables required beyond standard n8n setup.

Troubleshooting

Common Issues:

  • Invalid Credentials: If the redStageApi credential is missing or incorrect, authentication errors will occur.
  • Unknown Resource/Operation: If an unsupported resource or operation is selected, the node throws:
    "The resource \"<resource>\" is not known!"
  • API Errors: Any issues from the Red Stage API (e.g., network problems, invalid parameters) will be surfaced as error messages in the output if "Continue On Fail" is enabled.

How to resolve:

  • Double-check your credentials and API access.
  • Ensure that the resource is set to "Inventory" and operation to "List".
  • Validate input property formats (e.g., SKUs as a JSON array of strings).
