Overview
This node integrates with the Lexware API to perform various operations on different resources such as articles, contacts, invoices, quotations, and more. Specifically, for the Quotations - Get operation, it retrieves detailed information about a specific quotation identified by its unique ID. This is useful in scenarios where you need to fetch existing quotation data from Lexware for review, processing, or further automation within your workflows.
Practical examples include:
- Automatically retrieving quotation details when a new order is created.
- Syncing quotation data into a CRM or ERP system.
- Generating reports based on quotation information stored in Lexware.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Quotation ID | The unique identifier of the quotation to retrieve. This is a required string property. |
Output
The node outputs JSON data representing the retrieved quotation's details. The structure typically includes all relevant fields of the quotation as provided by the Lexware API, such as customer info, items quoted, prices, dates, and status.
If the node supports binary data output (not explicitly shown here), it would represent attachments or related files linked to the quotation, but this is not indicated in the provided code snippet.
Dependencies
- Requires an active connection to the Lexware API via an API key credential configured in n8n.
- The node depends on the Lexware API being accessible and the credentials having sufficient permissions to read quotation data.
Troubleshooting
Common issues:
- Invalid or missing Quotation ID will cause the operation to fail.
- Network or authentication errors if the API key is incorrect or expired.
- Unsupported resource or operation errors if parameters are misconfigured.
Error messages:
"Unsupported resource: quotations"— indicates the resource parameter was set incorrectly.- API errors returned from Lexware, such as "Not Found" if the Quotation ID does not exist.
Resolutions:
- Verify that the Quotation ID is correct and exists in Lexware.
- Ensure the API key credential is valid and has proper access rights.
- Confirm the resource and operation parameters are correctly set to "quotations" and "get".
