Interact with RetellAI API

Actions21

Overview

This node integrates with the RetellAI API to perform various operations on different resources, including phone numbers. Specifically, for the "Phone Number" resource and the "Get" operation, it retrieves information about a specified phone number formatted in E.164 standard (e.g., +14157774444). This can be useful in scenarios where you need to validate, look up details, or manage phone numbers within your workflows.

Practical examples include:

  • Fetching metadata or status of a phone number before sending messages or making calls.
  • Verifying if a phone number is active or associated with certain services.
  • Integrating phone number data retrieval into customer support or CRM automation.

Output

The node outputs JSON data containing the details retrieved from the RetellAI API about the specified phone number. The exact structure depends on the API response but typically includes metadata such as status, type, carrier, or other relevant phone number information.

If the node supports binary data output for this operation, it would represent any associated media or files related to the phone number, but based on the static analysis, the primary output is JSON.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the RetellAI API.
  • The node communicates with the RetellAI base URL: https://api.retellai.com.
  • Proper configuration of the API key credential in n8n is necessary for successful requests.

Troubleshooting

  • Common Issues:

    • Invalid or improperly formatted phone number input (not in E.164 format) may cause errors or no data returned.
    • Missing or incorrect API authentication token will result in authorization errors.
    • Network connectivity issues can prevent communication with the RetellAI API.

  • Error Messages:

    • Errors related to invalid credentials usually indicate that the API key is missing, expired, or incorrect. Verify and update the API key credential.
    • Validation errors for the phone number suggest checking the format and ensuring it complies with E.164.
    • If the node throws errors about rate limits or quota exceeded, consider reviewing your API usage limits with RetellAI.
