Attio

Interact with Attio API

Overview

This node interacts with the Attio API to retrieve detailed information about a specific thread identified by its unique Thread Id (UUID). It is useful in scenarios where you want to fetch conversation threads or discussion data from Attio for further processing, analysis, or integration within an n8n workflow. For example, you might use this node to pull thread details to display in a dashboard, trigger follow-up actions based on thread content, or archive conversations.

Properties

Name Meaning
Thread Id A UUID string that uniquely identifies the thread to be retrieved from the Attio system.

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the full details of the requested thread as returned by the Attio API. This typically includes all properties and metadata associated with the thread, such as participants, messages, timestamps, and any custom attributes defined in Attio.

If the API response contains binary data (not indicated here), it would be included accordingly, but this operation primarily returns structured JSON data.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for authenticating requests to the Attio API.
  • The node makes HTTP GET requests to the Attio API endpoint for threads.
  • Network connectivity to https://api.attio.com must be available.
  • Proper configuration of the API authentication token in n8n credentials is necessary.

Troubleshooting

  • Common issues:

    • Invalid or missing Thread Id: Ensure the Thread Id provided is a valid UUID and corresponds to an existing thread.
    • Authentication errors: Verify that the API key credential is correctly set up and has sufficient permissions.
    • Network errors: Check internet connectivity and firewall settings that may block access to the Attio API.
    • API rate limits: If many requests are made in a short time, the API may throttle requests.
  • Error messages:

    • "Operation GET -v2-threads--thread-id- not found for resource Threads": Indicates a misconfiguration or unsupported operation; verify the selected operation matches the resource.
    • "Operation configuration not found for GET -v2-threads--thread-id-": Suggests internal configuration issues; ensure the node version and definitions are up to date.
    • Errors containing "error": "<message>" in output JSON indicate request failures; check the message for specifics like invalid parameters or authorization failure.
