EspoCRMInstall

Overview

This node is designed to retrieve multiple contact records from a system, allowing users to fetch a list of contacts with optional filtering by name or email. It is useful in scenarios where you need to display, process, or analyze a batch of contacts rather than a single record. For example, it can be used to synchronize contacts with another system, generate reports, or send bulk communications.

Properties

Output

The output consists of a JSON array containing the retrieved contact objects. Each object represents a contact with its associated fields such as name, email, and other relevant details. The node does not explicitly mention binary data output, so it primarily returns structured JSON data representing contacts.

Dependencies

• Requires connection to an external CRM or contact management system.
• Needs appropriate API credentials or authentication tokens configured within n8n to access the contact data.
• The node relies on an internal operation handler (executeOperation) which likely manages API requests and responses.

Troubleshooting

• No contacts returned: Ensure that the search query is correct and that there are contacts matching the criteria. Also, verify that the API credentials have sufficient permissions.
• Limit errors: Setting the limit outside the allowed range (less than 1 or greater than 100) may cause errors; keep the value within the specified bounds.
• Authentication failures: Check that the API key or authentication token is valid and has not expired.
• API rate limits: If many requests are made in a short time, the external service might throttle requests; consider adding delays or reducing request frequency.
