iCount

Overview

This node integrates with the iCount accounting system to manage customers and documents. Specifically, for the Customer - Delete operation, it deletes a customer record identified by a unique client ID. This is useful in scenarios where you need to programmatically remove outdated or incorrect customer entries from your accounting database.

Practical examples include:

• Automating cleanup of customer records after account closure.
• Removing test or duplicate customers during data synchronization.
• Integrating with CRM systems to keep customer data consistent.

Properties

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the result of the delete operation. Typically, this will include confirmation of deletion or details about the deleted customer. If an error occurs, the output may contain an error message describing the failure.

No binary data output is involved in this operation.

Dependencies

• Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the iCount API.
• The node makes HTTP POST requests to the iCount API endpoints.
• Proper configuration of the iCount API credentials within n8n is necessary.

Troubleshooting

• Common issues:

  • Invalid or missing Client ID: Ensure the Client ID provided exists and is correct.
  • Authentication errors: Verify that the API key credential is valid and has sufficient permissions.
  • Network or API downtime: Check connectivity and iCount service status.

• Error messages:

  • "Unknown operation: delete": Indicates the operation parameter was not set correctly; ensure "Delete" is selected under Customer operations.
  • API response errors (e.g., "Customer not found"): Confirm the Client ID corresponds to an existing customer.

• To resolve errors, verify input parameters, credentials, and network connectivity. Use the node's "Continue On Fail" option to handle errors gracefully in workflows.
