Overview

This node interacts with the Financial Cents API to manage clients and their related data. Specifically, the Client - Delete operation allows users to delete a client record from the Financial Cents system by specifying the client's ID.

Common scenarios where this node is beneficial include:

  • Automating cleanup of client records that are no longer needed.
  • Integrating client management workflows where clients are removed based on external triggers or conditions.
  • Maintaining up-to-date client lists by programmatically deleting outdated or duplicate entries.

Example use case:

  • A workflow that deletes a client after a project is completed and archived, ensuring the client list remains current.

Properties

Name Meaning
Debug: Include Raw Response If enabled, the raw JSON response from the API will be included in each output item under __raw. Useful for debugging or logging.
Client Select the client to delete by choosing from a loaded list of clients or by providing an expression that resolves to the client ID.

Output

The node outputs an array of JSON objects representing the result of the delete operation. Each output item contains:

  • The main JSON response from the API indicating success or failure.
  • If "Debug: Include Raw Response" is enabled, the raw full API response is included under the __raw property.

Typical output structure when deleting a client successfully:

{
  "success": true
}

If debug mode is on, it will look like:

{
  "success": true,
  "__raw": { /* full API response object */ }
}

The node does not output binary data.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the Financial Cents API.
  • The base URL defaults to https://app.financial-cents.com/api/v1 but can be configured via credentials.
  • Uses HTTP methods (DELETE) to interact with the Financial Cents REST API.
  • No additional external dependencies beyond the API access and n8n's HTTP request helper.

Troubleshooting

  • Missing Client ID: If the client ID is not provided or invalid, the API call will fail. Ensure the "Client" property is set correctly.
  • API Authentication Errors: If the API key credential is missing or invalid, requests will be rejected. Verify the API key configuration.
  • Network Issues: Connectivity problems may cause timeouts or failures. Check network access to the Financial Cents API endpoint.
  • Permission Denied: The API user associated with the key must have permission to delete clients.
  • Unexpected API Responses: Enabling the debug option helps capture raw responses for troubleshooting unexpected errors.
