Consume ScaleFluidly API

Overview

This node integrates with the ScaleFluidly API to perform various operations related to quotes, configuration, pricing, MCP (Managed Customer Profiles), and admin tasks. Specifically for the Quote resource and the Fetch Object Details operation, it allows users to retrieve detailed information about a quote object by sending a custom JSON request body to the appropriate ScaleFluidly API endpoint.

Common scenarios where this node is beneficial include:

  • Retrieving detailed quote data for review or processing within an automation workflow.
  • Fetching specific quote attributes or metadata that are not readily available through simpler queries.
  • Integrating ScaleFluidly quote details into CRM, ERP, or other business systems via n8n workflows.

Practical example:

  • A sales automation workflow that fetches detailed quote information after a quote is created or updated, then uses that data to trigger notifications or update other systems.

Properties

Name Meaning
Environment The target environment for the API call. Options:
- Dev (https://documentation-dev.scalefluidly.com)
- QA (https://documentation.scalefluidly.com)
- Local (http://localhost:8400)
Request The JSON request body sent to the API endpoint. This contains the parameters required by the ScaleFluidly API to fetch the quote details. It must be a valid JSON object matching the API's expected schema for fetching object details.

Output

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

  • The json output field contains the parsed JSON response from the API call, which includes the detailed quote object data as returned by ScaleFluidly.
  • No binary data output is produced by this node.

Dependencies

  • Requires access to the ScaleFluidly API endpoints specified by the selected environment.
  • Optionally supports authentication via an API key credential configured in n8n (referred generically as "an API key credential").
  • The node internally manages authorization headers extracted from input data or credentials.
  • No additional external dependencies beyond standard HTTP request capabilities provided by n8n.

Troubleshooting

  • Bearer token not found error: If the first input item does not contain an authorization header with a bearer token, and no credential is configured, the node will throw an error. Ensure that either the input data includes a valid authorization token or configure the API key credential properly.
  • Operation not found error: If the operation name (intent) does not match any known ScaleFluidly API operation, the node will throw an error indicating the operation was not found. Verify the operation name is correct and supported.
  • Invalid JSON in Request property: The Request property must be a valid JSON object. Malformed JSON will cause the API call to fail.
  • API endpoint unreachable: Selecting the wrong environment or having network issues may cause connection failures. Confirm the environment URL is accessible from your n8n instance.
