Overview

The node is designed to interact with an external system to retrieve account data. Specifically, the "Get All" operation under the "Account" resource fetches multiple account records from the system. This operation is useful when you want to list accounts, possibly filtered by a search term, or limit the number of results returned.

Practical examples include:

  • Retrieving a list of all customer accounts for reporting.
  • Searching for accounts matching a specific name pattern (e.g., all accounts containing "Tech").
  • Limiting the number of accounts fetched to avoid processing large datasets at once.

Properties

Name Meaning
Limit Maximum number of accounts to retrieve. Must be between 1 and 100. Defaults to 10.
Search Query Optional text to filter accounts by their name. If left empty, all accounts are retrieved.

Output

The output contains a JSON array of account objects retrieved from the external system. Each object represents an account with its associated fields as provided by the system's API.

If the node supports binary data output, it would typically relate to attachments or files linked to accounts, but based on the provided code and properties, this node focuses on JSON data representing account details.

Dependencies

  • Requires connection to an external CRM or account management system via an API.
  • Needs appropriate API authentication credentials configured in n8n to access account data.
  • The node depends on internal modules (descriptions and operations) that handle the detailed implementation of fetching and processing account data.

Troubleshooting

  • Empty Results: If no accounts are returned, verify the search query string or try leaving it empty to fetch all accounts.
  • Limit Errors: Ensure the "Limit" property is set within the allowed range (1 to 100). Values outside this range may cause errors.
  • Authentication Issues: Failure to connect or authenticate with the external system will prevent data retrieval. Check API credentials and permissions.
  • API Rate Limits: Fetching large numbers of accounts repeatedly might hit API rate limits; consider using smaller limits or adding delays.

Links and References

  • Refer to the external system's API documentation for details on account data structure and available filters.
  • Consult n8n documentation on how to configure API credentials and use custom nodes.
