Overview
This node integrates with the Salla.sa e-commerce platform API, allowing users to interact with various resources such as orders, products, customers, addresses, special offers, coupons, shipments, and digital products. Specifically, for the Shipment resource with the Track operation, the node retrieves tracking information for a shipment by its ID.
This is useful in scenarios where you want to automate shipment tracking updates within your workflows, such as notifying customers about their shipment status or integrating shipment tracking data into other systems.
Example use case:
You have an order fulfillment workflow that, after creating a shipment, periodically checks the shipment's tracking status and updates your CRM or sends notifications to customers.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| ID | The unique identifier of the shipment to track. This is required to specify which shipment's tracking information to retrieve. |
Output
The node outputs JSON data representing the tracking details of the specified shipment. The structure corresponds to the response from the Salla API endpoint /shipments/{id}/track. It typically includes current shipment status, location updates, timestamps, and any relevant tracking events.
No binary data output is involved in this operation.
Dependencies
- Requires an API authentication credential configured in n8n to access the Salla.sa API.
- The node uses the Salla API endpoints and expects proper permissions to read shipment tracking information.
Troubleshooting
Common issues:
- Invalid or missing shipment ID: The node requires a valid shipment ID; ensure the ID provided exists in your Salla account.
- Authentication errors: Verify that the API credentials are correctly set up and have sufficient permissions.
- Network or API downtime: Temporary connectivity issues can cause request failures.
Error messages:
"The operation "track" is not supported for shipments!"— This would indicate a misconfiguration or unsupported operation; however, the code supports "track" for shipments, so this error should not occur if parameters are correct.- API errors returned from Salla (e.g., 404 Not Found) usually mean the shipment ID does not exist or is inaccessible.
To resolve errors, double-check the shipment ID, API credentials, and network connectivity.
