Overview

The "Delegate Approver" operation within the Quote resource of this ScaleFluidly node allows users to delegate approval responsibilities for a quote to another approver. This is useful in workflows where approval authority needs to be reassigned or delegated, such as when the original approver is unavailable or when approvals need to be escalated or rerouted.

Typical scenarios include:

  • Delegating quote approval to a manager or team lead.
  • Automating approval delegation based on workload or availability.
  • Integrating with external systems to update approval assignments dynamically.

For example, a sales automation workflow might use this operation to delegate quote approval from a sales representative to their manager automatically when certain conditions are met.

Properties

Name Meaning
Environment The target environment URL for the API call. Options: Dev (https://documentation-dev.scalefluidly.com), QA (https://documentation.scalefluidly.com), Local (http://localhost:8400). Determines which backend environment the request will be sent to.
Request JSON object containing the request body specific to the "Delegate Approver" operation. This includes all necessary data fields required by the API to perform the delegation action.

Output

The node outputs an array of JSON objects corresponding to the responses received from the ScaleFluidly API for each input item processed.

  • The json output field contains the parsed JSON response from the API call related to delegating the approver on a quote.
  • If the API returns any binary data (not indicated in this operation), it would be included accordingly, but this operation primarily deals with JSON data.

Dependencies

  • Requires access to the ScaleFluidly API endpoint specified by the selected Environment.
  • Optionally uses an API authentication token if provided via credentials or authorization headers.
  • The node expects a valid bearer token for authorization; this token can be passed in the input data's headers or managed internally by n8n credentials.
  • No other external dependencies are explicitly required.

Troubleshooting

  • Bearer token not found: If the first input item does not contain an authorization header with a bearer token and no internal credential is set, the node will throw an error. Ensure that the authorization token is correctly provided either in the input data or configured in the node credentials.
  • 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 "delegate_approver_to_quote".
  • Invalid request body: Since the request body is user-provided JSON, malformed or incomplete JSON may cause API errors. Validate the JSON structure before execution.
  • Environment URL issues: Selecting an incorrect or unreachable environment URL will result in network errors. Confirm the environment setting matches your deployment.
