SimplyBook.me

Consume SimplyBook.me API

Overview

The node integrates with the SimplyBook.me API to manage client data, specifically allowing users to edit existing client information. This operation is useful in scenarios where client details such as name, email, or phone number need to be updated after initial creation. For example, a business using SimplyBook.me for appointment scheduling might use this node to keep client contact information current.

Properties

Name Meaning
Client Name or ID Select an existing client from a list or specify their ID directly to identify which client to edit.
Name The updated full name of the client.
Email The updated email address of the client.
Phone Number The updated phone number of the client.

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the updated client object as returned by the SimplyBook.me API. This typically includes the client's ID, name, email, phone number, and possibly other metadata related to the client record. There is no indication that binary data is output by this node.

Dependencies

  • Requires an active SimplyBook.me API key credential configured in n8n.
  • The node uses the SimplyBook.me API endpoint URL provided via credentials.
  • The client_id property depends on a dynamic list of clients loaded through an internal method to facilitate selection.

Troubleshooting

  • Invalid Client ID: If the specified client ID does not exist or is incorrect, the API will likely return an error. Verify the client ID or select from the dropdown list.
  • Missing Required Fields: The node requires name, email, and phone fields to be filled. Omitting any of these will cause validation errors.
  • API Authentication Errors: Ensure the API key credential is valid and has sufficient permissions to edit client data.
  • Network Issues: Connectivity problems with the SimplyBook.me API endpoint can cause request failures; check network settings and API availability.
