Actions32
Overview
This node integrates with the ShipStation API v2, allowing users to manage various ShipStation resources such as shipments, labels, inventory, products, rates, batches, carriers, warehouses, and tags. Specifically, for the Tag resource with the Delete operation, the node deletes a tag identified by its ID from the ShipStation system.
Typical use cases include automating the cleanup or management of tags in your ShipStation account, for example removing obsolete or incorrect tags programmatically as part of an order fulfillment workflow.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| ID | The unique identifier of the tag to delete. This is required to specify which tag should be removed. |
Output
The output JSON contains the response data returned by the ShipStation API after attempting to delete the tag. Typically, this will confirm successful deletion or provide error details if the operation failed.
Example output structure:
{
"json": {
// Data confirming deletion or empty object depending on API response
}
}
No binary data output is produced by this operation.
Dependencies
- Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the ShipStation API.
- The node uses the ShipStationApiService internally to make HTTP requests to the ShipStation REST endpoints.
- Proper configuration of the API credentials in n8n is necessary for successful execution.
Troubleshooting
Common issues:
- Invalid or missing tag ID: Ensure the ID provided corresponds to an existing tag.
- Authentication errors: Verify that the API key credential is correctly configured and has sufficient permissions.
- Network or API downtime: Check connectivity and ShipStation service status.
Error messages:
- Errors returned from the ShipStation API are caught and handled; they typically include descriptive messages about what went wrong (e.g., "Tag not found").
- If the node throws an "Unknown operation" error, verify that the Resource is set to "Tag" and Operation to "Delete".
- If the node fails without clear API error, enable "Continue On Fail" to capture error details per item.
