Overview
This node integrates with the Housecall Pro API to manage various resources such as applications, customers, jobs, and more. Specifically, for the Application resource and the Get Address operation (which is actually under the "customers" resource in this implementation), it retrieves a specific customer's address by using both the customer ID and the address ID.
Common scenarios where this node is beneficial include:
- Fetching detailed address information of a customer for service scheduling or billing.
- Integrating customer address data into workflows for dispatching field employees.
- Synchronizing customer address details between Housecall Pro and other systems.
For example, you might use this node to get the exact address of a customer before creating a job appointment or sending an invoice.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Application Operation Routing | Internal routing configuration for application-related API requests (hidden from users). |
Note: The provided properties JSON only includes the hidden routing property for the Application resource. However, the actual "Get Address" operation belongs to the "customers" resource, which requires these input properties:
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| customerId | The unique identifier of the customer whose address you want to retrieve. |
| addressId | The unique identifier of the specific address to retrieve for the given customer. |
These two IDs are required to specify exactly which customer's address to fetch.
Output
The node outputs JSON data representing the requested customer's address. This typically includes fields such as street, city, state, zip code, country, and possibly additional address lines.
If the node supports binary data output, it is not indicated here; thus, the output is purely JSON containing the address details.
Dependencies
- Requires an active connection to the Housecall Pro API.
- Needs an API authentication token credential configured in n8n to authorize requests.
- The base URL for API requests is
https://api.housecallpro.com. - No other external dependencies are indicated.
Troubleshooting
- Missing or invalid customerId/addressId: The node requires valid IDs to fetch the address. Ensure these are correctly provided; otherwise, the API will return errors like "Not Found" or "Bad Request."
- Authentication errors: If the API key or token is missing or invalid, the node will fail with authorization errors. Verify that the API credentials are correctly set up.
- Network issues: Connectivity problems can cause request failures. Check network access to the Housecall Pro API endpoint.
- API rate limits: Excessive requests may be throttled by the API. Implement retry logic or reduce request frequency if needed.
