Overview

This node integrates with the sevDesk API to retrieve PDF documents of invoices. Specifically, the "Get Pdf" operation under the "Invoice" resource allows users to fetch the PDF file for a given invoice by specifying its ID. This is useful in scenarios where you want to automate downloading or processing invoice PDFs directly from sevDesk within your workflows, such as archiving invoices, sending them via email, or further processing.

Properties

Name Meaning
Invoice ID The unique numeric identifier of the invoice from which you want to retrieve the PDF document. This property is required.

Output

The node outputs the PDF content of the specified invoice. The output will typically be binary data representing the PDF file. This binary data can then be used downstream in the workflow, for example, to save the file, send it as an email attachment, or upload it to cloud storage.

The json output field may contain metadata about the request or invoice, but the primary useful output is the binary PDF data.

Dependencies

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

Troubleshooting

  • Invalid Invoice ID: If the provided invoice ID does not exist or is incorrect, the API may return an error or empty response. Verify the invoice ID before running the node.
  • Authentication Errors: Ensure that the API key or authentication token is valid and has sufficient permissions to access invoice data.
  • Network Issues: Connectivity problems can cause request failures. Check network settings and API availability.
  • Binary Data Handling: Downstream nodes must be capable of handling binary data to process the PDF correctly.
