EspoCRM

Overview

This node is designed to interact with an "Account" resource, specifically to retrieve details of a single account by its unique identifier. It is useful in scenarios where you need to fetch detailed information about a specific account from a CRM or similar system, for example, to display account data, verify account existence, or use the account details in subsequent workflow steps.

Properties

Output

The output will contain a JSON object representing the retrieved account's data. This typically includes all fields associated with the account as stored in the external system, such as name, contact details, status, and any custom fields defined in the CRM. There is no indication that binary data is returned by this operation.

Dependencies

• Requires connection to an external CRM system that manages accounts.
• Needs appropriate API credentials or authentication tokens configured in n8n to access the account data.
• The node relies on an internal operation execution function imported from bundled dependencies.

Troubleshooting

• Common issues:

  • Providing an invalid or non-existent Account ID will likely result in an error or empty response.
  • Missing or incorrect API credentials can cause authentication failures.
  • Network connectivity problems may prevent successful retrieval.

• Error messages:

  • Errors related to "Account not found" indicate the provided Account ID does not exist.
  • Authentication errors suggest misconfigured or missing API keys.
  • Timeout or network errors imply connectivity issues.

To resolve these, verify the Account ID correctness, ensure valid API credentials are set up, and check network access to the external service.

Links and References

• Refer to your CRM system’s API documentation for details on the Account resource and required authentication.
• n8n documentation on setting up API credentials and using HTTP request nodes may be helpful for configuration.
