Overview
This node allows you to retrieve requests from the Accelo API using n8n. It is designed for scenarios where you need to search or filter support/service requests managed in Accelo, such as fetching tickets based on a search term or filtering by affiliation. This is useful for automating workflows that require access to request data, such as reporting, notifications, or integrations with other systems.
Example use cases:
- Fetching all requests containing a specific keyword in their title.
- Filtering requests by a particular affiliation (e.g., department or team).
- Integrating Accelo request data into dashboards or sending alerts when new requests match certain criteria.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Search | Search the request title. Enter a term to find requests whose titles contain this text. |
| Filters | Filter the contacts request. Options: - Affiliation: Filter requests by affiliation (number). |
Output
The output will be a JSON object (or array of objects) representing the retrieved requests from Accelo. Each object typically contains fields relevant to a request, such as its ID, title, status, and any other metadata provided by the Accelo API.
Note: The exact structure depends on the Accelo API response for the "Get Request" operation.
Dependencies
- External Service: Requires an Accelo account and access to the Accelo API.
- Credentials: You must configure the
acceloApicredential in n8n. - Environment: No special environment variables are required beyond standard n8n setup.
Troubleshooting
- Invalid Credentials: If your API credentials are incorrect or missing, you may receive authentication errors. Ensure the
acceloApicredential is set up correctly in n8n. - No Results Found: If your search or filters do not match any requests, the output will be an empty array. Double-check your search terms and filter values.
- API Limitations: If you exceed Accelo API rate limits, you may encounter error messages indicating throttling. Wait before retrying or adjust your workflow frequency.
