Consume ScaleFluidly API

Overview

This node integrates with the ScaleFluidly API to perform various operations related to quotes, configuration, pricing, and administration within the ScaleFluidly platform. Specifically for the Quote - Get Details operation, it retrieves detailed information about a particular quote based on the provided request data.

Common scenarios where this node is beneficial include:

  • Fetching comprehensive details of a sales quote for review or processing.
  • Integrating quote data retrieval into automated workflows for sales or finance teams.
  • Using quote details to trigger further actions such as approvals, updates, or notifications.

For example, a user might use this node to get all relevant information about a quote before sending it to a customer or updating its status in another system.

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 JSON object containing the request body parameters required by the API for the selected operation. This must be provided and varies depending on the operation.

Output

The node outputs an array of JSON objects representing the response from the ScaleFluidly API for each input item processed. For the "Get Details" operation on a quote, the output JSON will contain detailed information about the requested quote, such as its attributes, status, line items, participants, and other metadata as returned by the API.

If the API returns binary data (not typical for this operation), it would be included accordingly, but this node primarily deals with JSON responses.

Dependencies

  • Requires access to the ScaleFluidly API endpoint corresponding to the chosen environment.
  • Optionally uses an API authentication token if provided in the input headers; otherwise, it attempts to use stored credentials configured in n8n under a generic API key credential.
  • No additional external dependencies beyond standard HTTP requests.

Troubleshooting

  • Bearer token not found error: If the first input item does not contain an authorization header with a bearer token and no stored credentials are available, the node will throw an error. Ensure that either the input includes a valid authorization token or that the node is configured with appropriate API credentials.
  • Operation not found error: If the specified operation or intent name does not match any known API endpoint mapping, the node will report this error. Verify that the operation name is correct and supported.
  • Invalid request body: Since the request body is user-provided JSON, malformed or incomplete JSON may cause API errors. Validate the JSON structure before running the node.
  • Environment URL issues: Selecting an incorrect or unreachable environment URL will result in connection failures. Confirm the environment setting matches your deployment.
