It is designed to fetch data for a single contact by its unique identifier, which is useful in scenarios where you need to access or process contact details within an automated workflow. For example, you might use this node to pull contact information before sending personalized emails, generating invoices, or syncing contact data with other systems.

Dependencies

  • Requires an active connection to the sevDesk API.
  • Needs an API authentication token credential configured in n8n to authorize requests.
  • The base URL for API requests is https://my.sevdesk.de/api/v1/.

Troubleshooting

  • Invalid Contact ID: If the provided Contact ID does not exist or is incorrect, the API may return an error or empty response. Verify the Contact ID before running the node.
  • Authentication Errors: Missing or invalid API credentials will cause authorization failures. Ensure the API key or token is correctly set up in n8n credentials.
  • Network Issues: Connectivity problems can prevent the node from reaching the sevDesk API. Check your network and proxy settings if applicable.
  • API Rate Limits: Excessive requests might lead to rate limiting by sevDesk. Implement retries or delays if necessary.
