Overview
The node integrates with the Dougs platform to manage financial data, specifically allowing users to create new Expense Reports. This operation is useful for automating the submission of expense data into Dougs, streamlining bookkeeping and expense tracking workflows. For example, a user can automatically create an expense report entry from collected receipt data or integrate expense submissions from other systems.

Dependencies

- Needs an API authentication credential configured in n8n (an API key or login token).
- The base URL for API requests is
https://app.dougs.fr. - The node uses standard HTTP headers for JSON content (
Accept: application/json,Content-Type: application/json).
Troubleshooting
- Missing Handler Error: If the node throws an error about a missing handler for the resource-operation combination, ensure that the Resource is set to "Expense Report" and Operation to "Create".
- Authentication Issues: Errors related to authentication usually mean the API credentials are missing, invalid, or expired. Verify the configured API key/token.
- Invalid Property Values: Providing incorrect IDs for Company, Category, or Partner may cause API errors. Use the provided list modes to select valid entries or verify IDs manually.
- API Connectivity: Network issues or incorrect base URL configuration can prevent successful API calls.
