Overview

This node integrates with an online payment processing suite that supports multiple financial operations including checks, payments, payees, and document mailing. Specifically, for the Check - Get operation, it retrieves detailed information about a specific check using its unique identifier. This is useful in scenarios where you need to verify the status, details, or history of a particular check within your payment workflows.

Practical examples include:

  • Fetching check details after creation to confirm successful issuance.
  • Retrieving check status before initiating follow-up actions like reissuing or canceling.
  • Auditing or reporting on individual checks by their IDs.

Properties

Name Meaning
Check ID The unique identifier of the check to retrieve. Example format: chk_1234567890.

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the retrieved check's details. This typically includes all relevant fields associated with the check such as its ID, amount, payee information, status, issue date, and any other metadata provided by the external service.

If the node encounters an error (e.g., invalid Check ID), the output will contain an error message describing the problem.

No binary data output is involved in this operation.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the Online Check Writer service.
  • The node depends on the external Online Check Writer API to fetch check data.
  • Proper configuration of the API credentials in n8n is necessary for successful execution.

Troubleshooting

  • Common issues:

    • Invalid or missing Check ID: Ensure the Check ID is correctly specified and exists in the system.
    • Authentication failures: Verify that the API key credential is valid and has appropriate permissions.
    • Network or API downtime: Temporary connectivity issues can cause request failures.

  • Error messages:

    • "Unknown resource: check": Indicates the resource parameter was not set correctly; ensure "check" is selected.
    • Errors containing "error" field in output JSON usually indicate API-level problems such as invalid parameters or authorization errors.

To resolve these, double-check input parameters, credentials, and network connectivity.
