sevDesk

Consume the sevDesk API

Overview

This node integrates with the sevDesk API to retrieve multiple check account transactions based on specified filters. It is useful for automating financial workflows, such as fetching transaction data for reconciliation, reporting, or further processing within an n8n workflow.

For example, a user might want to get all booked transactions from a specific check account within a date range to generate a financial report or trigger alerts on certain payment purposes.

Properties

Name Meaning
Filters A collection of optional filters to narrow down the transactions retrieved:
- Check Account ID Filter transactions by a specific check account identifier (string).
- End Date Retrieve transactions up to this end date/time (dateTime).
- Is Booked Boolean flag to filter only booked transactions (true) or unbooked (false).
- Payment Purpose Filter transactions by their payment purpose description (string).
- Start Date Retrieve transactions starting from this start date/time (dateTime).

Output

The node outputs an array of JSON objects representing the retrieved check account transactions. Each object contains the transaction details as returned by the sevDesk API, including fields such as transaction ID, amount, date, booking status, payment purpose, and related metadata.

No binary data output is produced by this node.

Dependencies

  • Requires an active sevDesk API key credential configured in n8n.
  • The node communicates with the sevDesk REST API endpoint at https://my.sevdesk.de/api/.
  • Environment configuration validation is performed before execution to ensure proper setup.

Troubleshooting

  • Common issues:

    • Invalid or missing API credentials will cause authentication failures.
    • Incorrect filter values (e.g., invalid date formats) may result in API errors or empty results.
    • Network connectivity problems can prevent successful API calls.
  • Error messages:

    • Errors thrown by the node include the API error message in the output JSON under an error field when "Continue On Fail" is enabled.
    • To resolve errors, verify API credentials, check filter parameter correctness, and ensure network access to sevDesk API endpoints.
