Consume ScaleFluidly API

Actions224

Overview

The "Configure Product" operation within the ScaleFluidly node allows users to interact with the ScaleFluidly API to configure product-related data. This operation is part of a broader set of functionalities that enable managing quotes, pricing, products, and administrative tasks via API calls.

Typical use cases include:

  • Automating product configuration workflows in sales or quoting processes.
  • Integrating product setup steps into larger automation pipelines.
  • Customizing product details dynamically based on external input.

For example, a user might send a JSON request body specifying product options or configurations to update a quote or product record in ScaleFluidly's system.

Properties

Name Meaning
Environment The target environment for the API call. Options are: Dev (https://documentation-dev.scalefluidly.com), QA (https://documentation.scalefluidly.com), Local (http://localhost:8400). This determines which backend instance the request will be sent to.
Request A JSON object representing the request body to be sent to the API. This contains the specific data needed for the "Configure Product" operation. It must be provided by the user and varies depending on the exact configuration task.

Output

The node outputs an array of JSON objects corresponding to the responses from the ScaleFluidly API for each input item processed. Each JSON object contains the API response data relevant to the "Configure Product" operation.

If the API returns binary data (not indicated explicitly here), it would be included as binary output, but this node primarily handles JSON responses.

Dependencies

  • Requires access to the ScaleFluidly API endpoint specified by the chosen environment.
  • Optionally uses an API authentication token if provided in the input data headers; otherwise, it attempts to use configured credentials for authentication.
  • No explicit mention of required n8n credential types, but an API key or bearer token is necessary for authorized requests.

Troubleshooting

  • Bearer token not found: If the first input item does not contain an authorization header with a bearer token and no credentials are configured, the node throws an error. Ensure that either the input includes a valid authorization header or proper API credentials are set up in n8n.
  • Operation not found: If the operation name does not map to a known intent URL, the node throws an error indicating the operation is invalid. Verify that the operation parameter is correctly set to "configure_product" or another supported operation.
  • Invalid JSON in Request: Since the request body is user-provided JSON, malformed JSON will cause the API call to fail. Validate JSON syntax before execution.
  • Environment URL issues: Selecting an incorrect or unreachable environment URL will result in network errors. Confirm the environment setting matches your deployment.
