Opencell

Overview

The Order: Update Order User Account operation in the Opencell n8n node allows you to update the user account associated with a specific commercial order in the Opencell system. This is useful for scenarios where you need to change or correct the user account linked to an existing order, such as when a customer changes their account details or if there was an error during the initial order creation.

Practical examples:

• Updating the user account on an order after a customer merges accounts.
• Correcting a misassigned user account on a commercial order.
• Automating user account updates in bulk for orders via workflow triggers.

Output

• The output will be a JSON object containing the response from the Opencell API after updating the user account for the specified commercial order.
• The structure of the json field depends on the Opencell API's response for this endpoint, but typically includes status information and possibly the updated order details.

Example output:

{
  "json": {
    // ...fields returned by Opencell API, e.g.,
    "status": "SUCCESS",
    "message": "User account updated successfully",
    "orderId": 12345,
    "userAccountCode": "UA001"
  }
}

Dependencies

• External Service: Requires access to an Opencell instance with the REST API enabled.
• Authentication: You must configure either Basic Authentication or OAuth2 credentials in n8n for Opencell.
• n8n Configuration: Credentials must be set up in the n8n credential store under the names opencellApi (for Basic Auth) or opencellOAuth2Api (for OAuth2).

Troubleshooting

Common issues:

• Invalid Credentials: If authentication fails, ensure your credentials are correct and have sufficient permissions.
• Order/User Account Not Found: If the provided Commercial Order ID or User Account Code does not exist, the API will likely return an error.
• API Connectivity Issues: Network problems or incorrect Opencell API URLs can cause connection errors.

Error messages and resolutions:

• "Username/password error. Error code : XXX": Check your username and password in the n8n credentials.
• "Host error. Error code : XXX": Verify the Opencell API URL and network connectivity.
• "Invalid credentials (unknown error)": Double-check all credential fields and try re-authenticating.
• "Resource not found" or similar: Ensure the Commercial Order ID and User Account Code are valid and exist in Opencell.
