Overview
This node is designed to submit files related to expenses within an account. It allows users to upload or associate files with a specific expense record, which can be useful for attaching receipts, invoices, or other supporting documentation to expense entries. This functionality is beneficial in financial workflows where verifying and documenting expenses is necessary, such as accounting automation, expense reporting, or audit preparation.
Practical examples include:
- Automatically submitting scanned receipt images to an expense record after a purchase.
- Attaching PDF invoices to expense entries for bookkeeping.
- Uploading supporting documents during expense approval processes.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Account Id | Identifier of the account |
| Expense Id | Identifier of the expense to which files are submitted |
Output
The node outputs JSON data representing the result of the file submission operation. This typically includes confirmation details about the uploaded files and their association with the specified expense. If binary data (such as file contents) is handled internally, it is managed by the node but not directly outputted; the output focuses on metadata and status information related to the submission.
Dependencies
- Requires an API key credential or similar authentication token to connect to the external service managing expenses.
- The node depends on an external API endpoint that handles expense file submissions.
- Proper configuration of the base URL and authentication credentials in n8n is necessary for successful operation.
Troubleshooting
- Common issues:
- Missing or incorrect Account Id or Expense Id will cause the operation to fail.
- Authentication errors if API credentials are invalid or missing.
- Network connectivity problems preventing access to the external API.
- Error messages:
- "Unauthorized" or "Authentication failed": Check API credentials and permissions.
- "Expense not found": Verify that the Expense Id exists and belongs to the specified Account Id.
- "Invalid input": Ensure all required properties are provided and correctly formatted.
Links and References
- Refer to the external API documentation for detailed information on expense file submission endpoints.
- Consult n8n documentation on how to configure API credentials and manage file uploads within workflows.
