Overview
This node interacts with the ADVBOX API to retrieve the history of tasks related to a specific lawsuit. It is useful in legal case management workflows where users need to track or audit all task activities associated with a particular lawsuit. For example, a law firm could use this node to fetch and review the timeline of tasks performed on a case, helping them monitor progress or prepare reports.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Lawsuit ID | The unique identifier of the lawsuit for which the task history will be retrieved. |
| Additional Fields | Optional parameters to control pagination: |
| - Limit: Number of items to return (between 1 and 100). | |
| - Offset: Number of items to skip before starting the response (for pagination). |
Output
The node outputs an array of JSON objects representing the task history entries for the specified lawsuit. Each object contains details about individual tasks recorded in the system's history. The exact structure depends on the ADVBOX API response but typically includes timestamps, task descriptions, statuses, and related metadata.
No binary data output is produced by this operation.
Dependencies
- Requires an active connection to the ADVBOX API.
- Needs an API authentication token credential configured in n8n to authorize requests.
- The node uses HTTP GET requests to the endpoint
/history/{lawsuit_id}of the ADVBOX API. - The API URL and token are obtained from the configured credentials.
Troubleshooting
- Authentication Token Missing: If the API token is not found or invalid, the node throws an error indicating that the authentication token was not found. Ensure the API key credential is correctly set up in n8n.
- API Request Failures: Network issues or incorrect lawsuit IDs can cause request errors. The node logs the request URI and error message to help diagnose problems.
- Pagination Limits: Setting the limit outside the allowed range (1-100) may cause API errors. Use valid values within the specified range.
- Invalid Lawsuit ID: Providing an incorrect or non-existent lawsuit ID will result in an error or empty response. Verify the lawsuit ID before running the node.
