Shippo

Interact with Shippo API

Actions68

Overview

This node interacts with the Shippo API to update an existing webhook. It allows users to modify the configuration of a webhook previously created in Shippo, which is useful for managing event notifications or callbacks related to shipping and logistics processes. Common scenarios include updating the URL that receives webhook events or changing the types of events the webhook listens to.

For example, if a user wants to change the endpoint where shipment status updates are sent, they can use this node to update the webhook's target URL without needing to delete and recreate the webhook.

Properties

Name Meaning
Webhook Id The unique identifier (Object ID) of the webhook to update. This is required to specify which webhook should be modified.

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the updated webhook object as returned by the Shippo API. This typically includes details such as the webhook's ID, URL, subscribed event types, creation and update timestamps, and status. The output allows subsequent nodes in the workflow to access the updated webhook information for further processing or logging.

No binary data output is involved.

Dependencies

  • Requires an active Shippo API key credential configured in n8n to authenticate requests.
  • Depends on the Shippo REST API endpoint at https://api.goshippo.com.
  • Uses standard HTTP headers for JSON content negotiation (Accept: application/json, Content-Type: application/json).

Troubleshooting

  • Invalid Webhook Id: If the provided webhook ID does not exist or is malformed, the API will return an error indicating the webhook could not be found. Verify the ID is correct.
  • Authentication Errors: Missing or invalid API credentials will cause authentication failures. Ensure the Shippo API key is correctly set up in n8n credentials.
  • Permission Issues: The API key must have sufficient permissions to update webhooks; otherwise, the request will be denied.
  • Network Issues: Connectivity problems to the Shippo API endpoint may cause timeouts or connection errors.
  • Malformed Input: Providing invalid or incomplete data when updating the webhook may result in validation errors from the API.
