Consume Connect Secure API

Actions222

Overview

This node allows you to create a new company record by sending structured data to an external API. It is useful in scenarios where you need to automate the creation of company profiles within a system, such as onboarding new clients, syncing company data from other platforms, or managing company-related workflows programmatically.

For example, you might use this node to automatically add companies collected from a web form into your CRM or database, ensuring consistent and up-to-date company information without manual entry.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the external Connect Secure API.
  • The node depends on the external Connect Secure API being available and accessible.
  • Proper configuration of the API credentials in n8n is necessary for successful operation.

Troubleshooting

  • Missing or invalid X USER ID: If the X USER ID header is not provided or incorrect, the API may reject the request. Ensure this value is set correctly.
  • Malformed JSON in Data property: The Data input must be valid JSON. Invalid JSON will cause parsing errors before the request is sent.
  • API connectivity issues: Network problems or incorrect API credentials can lead to failed requests. Verify network access and credential validity.
  • Unexpected API errors: Check the API response message for clues; it may indicate missing required fields or permission issues.
