Interact with the Zitadel API

Actions99

Overview

This node operation creates a new supplier in an external system by sending the necessary supplier data to the API. It is useful when automating supplier management workflows, such as adding new suppliers from form submissions or integrating with procurement systems. For example, you can use this node to automatically add a supplier when a new vendor signs up on your platform.

Properties

Name Meaning
Account Id Identifier of the account to which the new supplier will be linked

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the newly created supplier record as returned by the external API. This typically includes details such as the supplier's unique ID, name, and other metadata assigned by the system upon creation. The output does not include binary data.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for authenticating requests to the external supplier management API.
  • The base URL for the API must be configured in the node credentials or environment variables.
  • The node depends on an OpenAPI specification internally to define its operations and properties.

Troubleshooting

  • Missing or invalid Account Id: The operation requires a valid account identifier. Ensure that the "Account Id" property is provided and correctly formatted.
  • Authentication errors: If the API key or authentication token is missing or incorrect, the node will fail to create the supplier. Verify that the API credentials are properly set up.
  • API connectivity issues: Network problems or incorrect base URL configuration can cause request failures. Confirm the API endpoint is reachable and correctly configured.
  • Unexpected API response: If the API returns an error or unexpected data structure, check the API documentation and ensure all required fields are included.
