Overview
The node integrates with the SimplyBook.me API to manage clients within the booking system. Specifically, the "Create Client" operation allows users to add a new client by providing essential details such as name, email, and phone number. This is useful in scenarios where you want to automate client registration or synchronize client data from other systems into SimplyBook.me.
Practical examples include:
- Automatically creating a client record when a new user signs up on your website.
- Syncing client contact information from a CRM system into SimplyBook.me for appointment scheduling.
- Adding clients in bulk through workflow automation.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Name | The full name of the client to be created. |
| The client's email address, used for communication and identification. | |
| Phone Number | The client's phone number, required for contact purposes and notifications. |
Output
The node outputs JSON data representing the newly created client object as returned by the SimplyBook.me API. This typically includes the client's unique identifier, name, email, phone number, and possibly other metadata related to the client record.
If the node supports binary data output (not indicated here), it would generally represent attachments or files related to the client, but this operation focuses on JSON client data only.
Dependencies
- Requires an active SimplyBook.me account with API access enabled.
- Needs an API key credential configured in n8n to authenticate requests to SimplyBook.me.
- The base URL for the SimplyBook.me API must be set in the credentials configuration.
Troubleshooting
- Missing Required Fields: If "Name", "Email", or "Phone Number" are not provided, the node will likely throw validation errors. Ensure all required fields are filled.
- Authentication Errors: Invalid or missing API credentials will cause authentication failures. Verify that the API key and base URL are correctly configured.
- API Rate Limits: Excessive requests may lead to rate limiting by SimplyBook.me. Implement error handling and retries if necessary.
- Invalid Email or Phone Format: The API might reject improperly formatted emails or phone numbers. Validate input formats before execution.
