Overview
This node operation retrieves the managers associated with a specific custom field value within an account. It is useful in scenarios where you need to identify or list managerial contacts linked to particular custom data entries, such as filtering managers by department, project, or any other custom attribute defined in your system.
Practical examples include:
- Fetching all managers responsible for a certain product line identified by a custom field.
- Retrieving managers linked to a specific client or region based on custom field values.
- Automating notifications or workflows targeted at managers filtered by custom criteria.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Account Id | Identifier of the account to which the custom field belongs. |
| Custom Field Id | Identifier of the custom field from which to get the value. |
| Custom Field Value Id | Identifier of the specific value within the custom field for which to find managers. |
Output
The output JSON contains information about the managers related to the specified custom field value. This typically includes manager details such as names, IDs, contact information, or other relevant metadata depending on the API response structure.
If binary data were involved (not indicated here), it would represent files or attachments related to the managers or custom fields, but this operation focuses on JSON data only.
Dependencies
- Requires an API key credential for authentication to the external service managing accounts and custom fields.
- The node depends on a REST API endpoint that supports querying managers by custom field values.
- Proper configuration of the base URL and authentication credentials in n8n is necessary.
Troubleshooting
- Missing or invalid identifiers: Ensure that the Account Id, Custom Field Id, and Custom Field Value Id are correctly provided and exist in the system.
- Authentication errors: Verify that the API key or authentication token is valid and has sufficient permissions.
- No managers found: If the output is empty, confirm that the custom field value actually has managers assigned.
- API connectivity issues: Check network connectivity and API endpoint availability.
Common error messages might include:
- Unauthorized access due to invalid credentials.
- Not found errors if any of the provided IDs do not exist.
- Validation errors if required parameters are missing.
Resolving these usually involves verifying input parameters, credentials, and API status.
