KobanaInstall

Overview

This node integrates with the Kobana API to manage utility payments under the "Payment > Utilities" resource, specifically supporting the "Create" operation. It allows users to create new utility payment requests by sending a JSON-formatted request body to the Kobana API.

Typical use cases include automating the creation of utility payments such as electricity, water, or gas bills within an automated workflow. For example, a business could use this node to programmatically generate utility payment requests based on incoming data, streamlining financial operations and reducing manual entry errors.

Properties

Output

The node outputs the JSON response returned by the Kobana API after creating the utility payment. This typically includes details about the newly created payment such as its ID, status, amount, due date, and other relevant metadata.

If the API returns binary data (not typical for this operation), it would represent associated files or documents related to the payment, but this node primarily handles JSON responses.

Dependencies

• Requires an active Kobana API credential configured in n8n, which provides authentication tokens necessary to access the Kobana API.
• The node dynamically selects the API base URL depending on the environment specified in the credentials (production or sandbox).
• No other external dependencies are required.

Troubleshooting

• Invalid JSON in Request Body: If the JSON provided in the "Request Body" or "Additional Fields" is malformed, the node will throw a parsing error. Ensure that all JSON inputs are valid.
• Authentication Errors: If the API key or token is missing, invalid, or expired, the node will fail to authenticate. Verify that the Kobana API credentials are correctly set up and have appropriate permissions.
• API Validation Errors: The Kobana API may reject requests if required fields are missing or contain invalid values. Review the API documentation to ensure the request body complies with expected formats and constraints.
• Network Issues: Connectivity problems or incorrect environment settings can cause request failures. Confirm network access to the Kobana API endpoints and correct environment selection (sandbox vs production).
