Overview

This node integrates with the Cash App API via an external service to manage customer-related operations, specifically including creating customer groups. The "Create Customer Group" operation allows users to define a new group for organizing customers within their Cash App ecosystem.

Typical use cases include segmenting customers into meaningful groups such as VIPs, frequent buyers, or regional clusters to facilitate targeted marketing, personalized communication, or loyalty programs.

For example, a business could create a "VIP Customers" group to apply special discounts or track high-value clients separately.

Properties

Name Meaning
Group Name The name of the customer group to be created (e.g., "VIP Customers"). This is a required string input.

Output

The node outputs a JSON object containing details about the newly created customer group under the key group. The structure typically includes identifiers and metadata returned by the Cash App API representing the created group.

Example output snippet:

{
  "json": {
    "resource": "customer",
    "operation": "createCustomerGroup",
    "success": true,
    "creditsUsed": 1,
    "creditsRemaining": 99,
    "group": {
      "id": "group_123456789",
      "name": "VIP Customers",
      "createdAt": "2024-01-01T12:00:00Z",
      ...
    }
  }
}

No binary data output is produced by this operation.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for authenticating requests to the external Cash App API service.
  • The node uses an HTTP POST request to validate the operation before execution.
  • The external API URL and API key must be configured in the node credentials.
  • No additional environment variables are explicitly required beyond the API credentials.

Troubleshooting

  • Validation Failure: If the API validation fails, the node throws an error indicating that the operation could not be validated. Ensure the API key is correct and has permissions for customer group management.
  • Missing Required Property: The "Group Name" property is mandatory. Omitting it will cause the node to fail.
  • API Errors: Any errors returned from the Cash App API during group creation will be surfaced as node errors. Check the error message for details such as rate limits, invalid parameters, or authentication issues.
  • Unknown Operation: If the operation parameter is incorrect or unsupported, the node will throw an error specifying the unknown operation.

To resolve common issues:

  • Verify API credentials and permissions.
  • Confirm all required properties are provided.
  • Review API usage limits and error messages.
  • Enable "Continue On Fail" if you want the workflow to proceed despite individual item failures.
