Overview
This node interacts with the Easy!Appointments API to manage appointment data. Specifically, the "Get Appointment" operation retrieves detailed information about a single appointment by its unique ID. This is useful in scenarios where you need to fetch and use appointment details within an automation workflow, such as sending reminders, updating calendars, or integrating appointment data with other systems.
Practical examples:
- Fetching an appointment's details after it has been booked to send a confirmation email.
- Retrieving appointment information to display in a custom dashboard.
- Using appointment data to trigger follow-up actions based on appointment status or timing.

Output
The output contains a JSON object representing the appointment details as returned by the Easy!Appointments API. This typically includes fields such as start and end times, customer ID, provider ID, service ID, location, color, status, notes, and any other appointment-specific data.
The node does not output binary data.
Dependencies
- Requires an active connection to the Easy!Appointments API.
- Requires configuration of an API authentication credential (e.g., an API key or token) for the Easy!Appointments service in n8n.
- The base URL for the Easy!Appointments API must be set in the credentials.
Troubleshooting
Common issues:
- Invalid or missing Appointment ID will cause the request to fail.
- Incorrect or expired API credentials will result in authentication errors.
- Network connectivity problems can prevent access to the Easy!Appointments API.
Error messages:
- Errors related to invalid Appointment ID usually indicate that the specified appointment does not exist.
- Authentication errors suggest checking the API key/token and base URL configuration.
- JSON parsing errors are unlikely here since this operation only fetches data, but malformed responses from the API could cause issues.
To resolve these:
- Verify the Appointment ID is correct and exists in the system.
- Ensure API credentials are valid and properly configured.
- Check network connectivity and API endpoint accessibility.
