Overview
This node integrates with the iCount accounting system to manage various resources such as documents and customers. Specifically, for the Customer resource and the Delete Contact operation, it allows users to delete a contact associated with a customer in iCount.
This operation is useful when you need to remove outdated or incorrect contact information from a customer's profile in your accounting system. For example, if a contact person leaves a company or their details change, you can automate the removal of that contact to keep your records accurate.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Client ID | The unique identifier of the customer whose contact is to be deleted. (Number) |
| Contact ID | The unique identifier of the contact to delete from the specified customer. (Number) |
Output
The node outputs JSON data representing the result of the delete contact operation. This typically includes confirmation of deletion or any relevant response from the iCount API regarding the success or failure of the request.
No binary data output is involved in this operation.
Dependencies
- Requires an active connection to the iCount API.
- Requires an API authentication token credential configured in n8n to authorize requests.
- The node makes HTTP POST requests to iCount's API endpoints to perform operations.
Troubleshooting
Common issues:
- Invalid or missing Client ID or Contact ID will cause the operation to fail.
- Authentication errors if the API token is invalid or expired.
- Network connectivity issues preventing access to the iCount API.
Error messages:
"Unknown operation: deleteContact"— indicates a misconfiguration of the operation parameter; ensure "Delete Contact" is selected under the Customer resource.- API error responses related to authorization or invalid IDs will be returned in the node output if "Continue On Fail" is enabled.
Resolutions:
- Verify that the Client ID and Contact ID are correct and exist in iCount.
- Ensure the API key credential is valid and has necessary permissions.
- Check network connectivity and firewall settings.
