Overview
This node integrates with the Outseta CRM API to manage accounts within your CRM system. Specifically, the Delete Account operation allows you to remove an existing account by specifying its unique identifier (Account UID). This is useful for cleaning up outdated or incorrect account records, automating account lifecycle management, or integrating account deletion into broader workflows.
Practical example:
You might use this node in a workflow that automatically deletes customer accounts when they cancel their subscription or after a certain period of inactivity, ensuring your CRM data stays current and relevant.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Account UID | The unique identifier of the account to delete. This is required to specify which account to remove. |
Output
The node outputs JSON data representing the response from the Outseta API after attempting to delete the specified account. Typically, for a successful delete operation, the output may be an empty object or confirmation message indicating the account was removed. No binary data is involved in this operation.
Dependencies
- Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the Outseta CRM API.
- The node expects the Outseta domain to be configured in credentials to construct the base URL for API requests.
- Network access to
https://<your-domain>/api/v1is necessary.
Troubleshooting
Common issues:
- Providing an invalid or non-existent Account UID will result in an error from the API indicating the account could not be found.
- Missing or incorrect API authentication credentials will cause authorization failures.
- Network connectivity problems can prevent the node from reaching the Outseta API.
Error messages and resolutions:
- "404 Not Found" — The specified Account UID does not exist. Verify the UID is correct.
- "401 Unauthorized" or "403 Forbidden" — Authentication failed. Check that the API key credential is valid and properly configured.
- Timeout or network errors — Ensure your n8n instance has internet access and the domain is reachable.
