Overview
This node interacts with the Housecall Pro API to manage customer-related data. Specifically, for the Customer resource and the Get Application operation, it retrieves application information related to a company. This is useful in scenarios where you want to fetch details about the Housecall Pro application status or configuration for a specific company.
Practical examples include:
- Checking if the Housecall Pro application is enabled or disabled for a company.
- Retrieving metadata or settings associated with the application for integration or reporting purposes.
