Interact with the Zitadel API

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 to an external service or API, facilitating automated expense processing and record keeping. This node is beneficial in scenarios where businesses want to streamline their invoice submission workflows, reduce manual entry errors, and integrate with accounting platforms.

For example, a company could use this node to automatically submit invoices received from vendors into their expense tracking system, ensuring timely payment processing and accurate financial reporting.

Properties

Name Meaning
Account Id Identifier of the account to which the invoice will be submitted

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the response from the invoice submission operation. This typically includes confirmation details such as invoice ID, status, timestamps, or any error messages returned by the external service. The output structure depends on the API's response but generally confirms whether the invoice was successfully submitted.

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

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential or similar authentication token configured in n8n to authorize requests to the external service.
  • Depends on an external API endpoint for submitting invoices, which must be accessible via network.
  • Uses an OpenAPI-based client library internally to handle API operations.

Troubleshooting

  • Common Issues:

    • Missing or invalid Account Id property can cause the request to fail.
    • Network connectivity problems or incorrect API base URL configuration may prevent successful submission.
    • Authentication failures if the API key or credentials are not properly set up.
  • Error Messages:

    • Errors indicating missing required parameters suggest checking that "Account Id" is provided.
    • HTTP 401 or 403 errors imply authentication issues; verify API credentials.
    • Timeout or connection errors indicate network or endpoint availability problems.

Resolving these usually involves verifying input properties, ensuring correct credential setup, and confirming API endpoint accessibility.

Links and References

  • Refer to the external API documentation for detailed information on invoice submission endpoints and expected payloads.
  • Consult n8n documentation on setting up API credentials and using OpenAPI integrations.
