Overview
This node integrates with the Shippo API to create a new User Parcel Template. It is useful for automating parcel template creation within workflows, such as setting up shipping configurations or standardizing package details for shipments. For example, an e-commerce platform could use this node to programmatically add parcel templates based on user preferences or product dimensions.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| SHIPPO API VERSION | Optional string to specify a non-default Shippo API version to use for the request. This allows targeting specific API versions. |
Output
The node outputs JSON data representing the newly created User Parcel Template as returned by the Shippo API. This typically includes details such as template ID, dimensions, weight, and other parcel-related metadata. The output does not include binary data.
Dependencies
- Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the Shippo API.
- The node sends requests to
https://api.goshippo.com. - Optionally supports specifying a custom API version via the
SHIPPO API VERSIONheader.
Troubleshooting
- Authentication errors: Ensure that a valid API key credential is configured in n8n for Shippo.
- Invalid API version: If specifying a custom API version, verify it matches one supported by Shippo; otherwise, the request may fail.
- API request failures: Check network connectivity and Shippo service status if requests do not succeed.
- Missing required properties: Confirm all necessary parcel template fields are provided when configuring the node (not shown in the provided snippet but relevant in practice).
