Overview
This node interacts with the Housecall Pro API to manage applications for companies. Specifically, the "Disable Application" operation disables a particular application for a company via an API call. This can be useful in scenarios where you want to programmatically control access or availability of certain applications within a company's account, such as suspending services temporarily or managing feature toggles.
Practical examples include:
- Automatically disabling an application when a subscription expires.
- Disabling specific applications during maintenance windows.
- Integrating with internal workflows that require toggling application states based on business logic.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Additional Fields | A collection for any extra optional parameters related to disabling the application. Currently no predefined fields are specified. |
| Application Operation Routing | Hidden property defining HTTP method and endpoint URL mappings for application operations including disable (POST /application/disable). |
Output
The node outputs JSON data representing the response from the Housecall Pro API after attempting to disable the application. The exact structure depends on the API's response but typically includes status information about the disable request.
No binary data output is involved.
Dependencies
- Requires an API key credential for authenticating requests to the Housecall Pro API.
- The base URL for API requests is
https://api.housecallpro.com. - Proper configuration of the API key credential in n8n is necessary for successful execution.
Troubleshooting
- Authentication errors: If the API key is missing, invalid, or expired, the node will fail to authenticate. Ensure the API key credential is correctly set up and valid.
- API endpoint errors: If the API endpoint
/application/disablechanges or is unavailable, the node will return an error. Verify the API documentation and network connectivity. - Empty or incorrect additional fields: Since no additional fields are defined, providing unsupported fields may cause unexpected behavior or errors.
- Permission issues: The API user associated with the API key must have permissions to disable applications; otherwise, the request will be denied.
