Overview
This node is designed to interact with an "Account" resource, specifically to delete an account by its unique identifier. It is useful in scenarios where you need to programmatically remove account records from a system, such as cleaning up outdated or incorrect data, automating account lifecycle management, or integrating with external systems that require account deletion.
For example, if you have a CRM system and want to automate the removal of accounts that are no longer active or relevant, this node can be used to delete those accounts based on their unique IDs.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Account ID | The unique identifier of the account to delete. Example: a string like "507f1f77bcf86cd799439011". |
Output
The output of this node typically contains JSON data indicating the result of the delete operation. This may include confirmation of successful deletion or details about the deleted account. Since the source code does not explicitly define the output structure, it is expected to return standard API response data related to the deletion action.
No binary data output is indicated.
Dependencies
- Requires an API key or authentication token to connect to the external service managing the accounts.
- The node depends on external modules for descriptions and operations, which handle the actual API calls.
- Proper configuration of credentials and endpoint URLs within n8n is necessary for successful execution.
Troubleshooting
Common Issues:
- Providing an invalid or non-existent Account ID will likely result in an error or no action.
- Missing or incorrect API authentication credentials will cause authorization failures.
- Network connectivity issues can prevent the node from reaching the external service.
Error Messages:
- Errors related to "Account not found" indicate the provided Account ID does not exist.
- Authentication errors suggest problems with the API key or token.
- Timeout or connection errors imply network or service availability problems.
To resolve these, verify the Account ID, ensure valid credentials are configured, and check network connectivity.
