Overview
This node integrates with the Fulfillmenttools API to manage facilities, facility carriers, and orders. Specifically, for the Facility - Get operation, it retrieves detailed information about a single facility by its unique identifier.
Common scenarios where this node is beneficial include:
- Fetching facility details to display or process in workflows.
- Validating if a facility exists before performing further operations.
- Integrating facility data into other systems or reports.
For example, you might use this node to get the address, contact info, or operational status of a warehouse facility identified by its Facility ID.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Facility ID | The unique identifier of the facility you want to retrieve. This is required to specify which facility's details to fetch. |
Output
The node outputs a JSON object representing the facility's data as returned by the Fulfillmenttools API. This typically includes all available fields describing the facility such as its name, address, contact details, status, and any custom attributes defined in the system.
The output structure is an array of JSON objects (one per input item), each containing the facility information under the json key.
No binary data output is produced by this operation.
Dependencies
- Requires an active connection to the Fulfillmenttools API.
- Needs an API authentication credential configured in n8n to authorize requests.
- The node uses internal helper functions to make HTTP requests to the Fulfillmenttools REST endpoints.
Troubleshooting
Common issues:
- Invalid or missing Facility ID will cause the API request to fail.
- Network connectivity problems can prevent successful API calls.
- Insufficient permissions or invalid API credentials will result in authorization errors.
Error messages:
"Facility not found": The specified Facility ID does not exist. Verify the ID is correct."Unauthorized"or"Authentication failed": Check that the API key or token is valid and properly configured."Request timed out": Network issues; retry or check connectivity.
To resolve errors, ensure the Facility ID is accurate, the API credentials are valid, and the network connection is stable.
