Interact with Kobana API - Quick access to common operations

Actions215

Overview

This node integrates with the Kobana API to manage customer data and other related resources. Specifically, the "Find by Email" operation under the "V1 > Customers" resource allows users to search for a customer by their email address. This is useful in scenarios where you need to retrieve customer details based on their email, such as verifying if a customer exists before creating an order or updating customer information.

Practical examples:

  • Automatically fetching customer details during a signup or checkout process using their email.
  • Validating customer existence in your system before sending marketing emails.
  • Integrating with CRM systems to sync customer data based on email addresses.

Properties

Name Meaning
Query Parameters JSON object with additional query parameters to customize the search request.
Email The email address used to find the corresponding customer record (required).

Output

The node outputs a JSON array containing the customer data returned from the Kobana API that matches the provided email address. Each item in the output corresponds to a customer record found.

  • The json field contains the customer details as returned by the API.
  • No binary data output is produced by this operation.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the Kobana API.
  • The node dynamically selects the API base URL depending on the environment (production or sandbox).
  • Proper configuration of the Kobana API credentials in n8n is necessary.

Troubleshooting

  • Common issues:

    • Invalid or missing API credentials will cause authentication failures.
    • Providing an invalid email format may result in no results or API errors.
    • Network connectivity issues can prevent successful API calls.
  • Error messages:

    • Authentication errors typically indicate incorrect or expired API keys; verify and update credentials.
    • If the API returns no customers, ensure the email exists in the Kobana system.
    • JSON parsing errors may occur if the input JSON in query parameters is malformed; validate JSON syntax carefully.
