Overview
This node integrates with the Salla.sa e-commerce platform API, allowing users to perform various operations on different resources such as orders, products, customers, addresses, special offers, coupons, shipments, and digital products. Specifically for the Shipment resource with the Get operation, the node retrieves detailed information about a specific shipment by its ID.
Common scenarios where this node is beneficial include:
- Fetching shipment details to track delivery status or update internal systems.
- Integrating shipment data into workflows for order fulfillment or customer notifications.
- Automating logistics processes by retrieving shipment info programmatically.
Example use case:
- A user wants to get the current status and details of a shipment associated with an order to notify the customer or update a CRM system.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| ID | The unique identifier of the shipment resource to retrieve. This is required for the Get operation. |
Output
The node outputs a JSON object representing the shipment details retrieved from the Salla API. The structure corresponds directly to the shipment resource's data model in Salla, typically including fields such as shipment ID, status, tracking information, shipping address, and other relevant shipment metadata.
If the node supports binary data output (not indicated here), it would typically relate to documents or labels associated with shipments, but this node focuses on JSON data output.
Dependencies
- Requires an API authentication credential configured in n8n to access the Salla.sa API.
- Depends on the
sallaApiRequestandsallaApiRequestAllItemshelper functions for making authenticated HTTP requests to the Salla API endpoints. - No additional external dependencies are indicated.
Troubleshooting
- Missing or invalid ID: The "ID" property is required. If omitted or incorrect, the API call will fail. Ensure the shipment ID is correct and provided.
- API authentication errors: If the API key or OAuth2 credentials are not set up properly, the node will throw authentication errors. Verify credentials in n8n settings.
- Unsupported operation error: If an unsupported operation is selected for the Shipment resource, the node throws an error indicating the operation is not supported.
- Network or API downtime: Network issues or Salla API outages can cause request failures. Check connectivity and API status.
- Rate limits: Excessive requests may be throttled by the API. Implement retry logic or reduce request frequency if needed.
