Overview

The node is designed to submit an invoice related to expenses within an accounting or financial management context. It allows users to send invoice data associated with a specific account identifier to an external service, likely for processing or record-keeping purposes. This node would be beneficial in automating the submission of invoices as part of expense workflows, such as integrating with accounting platforms or expense management systems.

Practical examples include:

  • Automatically submitting vendor invoices when new expense records are created.
  • Integrating invoice submission into broader financial automation pipelines.
  • Streamlining approval and payment processes by pushing invoice data directly from n8n workflows.

Properties

Name Meaning
Account Id Identifier of the account to which the invoice will be submitted. This is a required string input.

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the result of the invoice submission operation. The exact structure depends on the external API response but typically includes confirmation details such as invoice ID, status, timestamps, or error messages if submission fails.

If the node supports binary data output (not evident from the provided code), it would generally represent attachments or documents related to the invoice, such as PDF copies.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key or authentication token configured in n8n credentials to authorize requests to the external service handling invoice submissions.
  • Depends on an external API endpoint specified by a base URL credential.
  • Uses an OpenAPI-based client library internally to handle request construction and response parsing.

Troubleshooting

  • Missing or invalid Account Id: Since the Account Id is required, ensure it is provided and correctly formatted; otherwise, the node may fail to submit the invoice.
  • Authentication errors: Verify that the API key or authentication token is valid and has sufficient permissions.
  • Network or API errors: Check connectivity and API availability; transient issues might cause failures.
  • Unexpected API responses: If the external service changes its API, the node might not parse responses correctly, requiring updates to the integration.

Links and References

  • Refer to the external service’s API documentation for detailed information about invoice submission endpoints and expected payloads.
  • Consult n8n documentation on how to configure API credentials and use custom nodes with OpenAPI specifications.
