Consume fulfillmenttools API

Actions12

Overview

This node interacts with the Fulfillmenttools API to manage orders, facilities, and carriers. Specifically, for the Order - Get operation, it retrieves detailed information about a single order by its unique identifier. This is useful in scenarios where you need to fetch the current status, contents, or metadata of an existing order within your fulfillment system.

Practical examples include:

  • Fetching order details to display in a dashboard.
  • Verifying order status before triggering shipment processes.
  • Integrating order data into other systems like CRM or ERP.

Properties

Name Meaning
Order ID The unique identifier of the order you want to retrieve. It must be provided as a string.

Output

The node outputs a JSON object representing the full details of the requested order as returned by the Fulfillmenttools API. This typically includes fields such as order identifiers, status, items, quantities, shipping information, and timestamps.

If the API supports binary data related to orders (e.g., invoices or labels), this node could potentially output binary data, but based on the static code analysis, the primary output is JSON data describing the order.

Dependencies

  • Requires an active connection to the Fulfillmenttools API.
  • Needs an API authentication token or key configured in n8n credentials to authorize requests.
  • Uses internal helper functions to make HTTP requests to the Fulfillmenttools endpoints.

Troubleshooting

  • Common issues:

    • Providing an invalid or non-existent Order ID will likely result in an error from the API indicating the order was not found.
    • Missing or incorrect API credentials will cause authentication failures.
    • Network connectivity problems can prevent successful API calls.

  • Error messages:

    • Errors thrown by the node will contain the message from the API response. For example, "Order not found" if the Order ID does not exist.
    • Authentication errors will indicate invalid or missing credentials.

  • Resolutions:

    • Verify that the Order ID is correct and exists in the Fulfillmenttools system.
    • Ensure API credentials are properly set up and valid.
    • Check network connectivity and firewall settings.
