Alegra (Unofficial - BETA)

Overview

This node integrates with the Alegra API, an accounting and invoicing platform, to manage various resources such as contacts, invoices, items, payments, estimates, taxes, and bank accounts. Specifically, for the Item resource with the Get operation, it retrieves detailed information about a specific product or service item by its ID.

Common scenarios where this node is beneficial include:

• Fetching product or service details from Alegra to use in workflows that require up-to-date inventory or pricing information.
• Automating reporting or synchronization tasks where item data needs to be pulled from Alegra.
• Integrating Alegra item data into other systems or processes within an automation pipeline.

Practical example:

• A user wants to retrieve the details of a product by its unique identifier to update stock levels or generate a sales report automatically.

Properties

Output

The output is a JSON object representing the item retrieved from Alegra. It contains all the properties of the item as returned by the Alegra API, such as name, type, price, category, tax information, and any additional fields associated with the item.

If multiple items were returned (not applicable for the "get" operation which fetches a single item), they would be output as an array of JSON objects.

No binary data output is produced by this operation.

Dependencies

• Requires an active connection to the Alegra API via an API key credential configured in n8n.
• The node uses HTTP requests authenticated with this API key to communicate with Alegra's REST endpoints.
• The environment URL for Alegra API must be set in the credentials configuration.

Troubleshooting

• Common issues:

  • Invalid or missing Item ID will cause the API call to fail.
  • Network connectivity problems or incorrect API credentials will result in authentication errors.
  • If the specified item ID does not exist, the API will return an error indicating the item was not found.

• Error messages and resolutions:

  • "Unknown error occurred": General catch-all error; verify network, credentials, and API availability.
  • Errors related to authentication: Check that the API key credential is correctly configured and has necessary permissions.
  • Item not found errors: Confirm the Item ID is correct and exists in Alegra.
