Overview
The "Get Many" operation of the Invoice resource in this custom n8n node allows users to retrieve multiple invoice records from an external inventory management API. This functionality is particularly useful for businesses that need to manage and analyze their invoicing data efficiently. Common scenarios include generating reports on invoices within a specific date range, filtering invoices by customer ID, or checking the status of invoices (e.g., Open, Paid, Voided). For example, a user might want to fetch all unpaid invoices from the last month to follow up with customers.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Return All | Whether to return all results or only up to a given limit. |
| Limit | Max number of results to return (1 to 100). Default is 50. |
| Filters | Collection of filters to apply when retrieving invoices: |
| - Start Date: Start date for filtering the invoices. | |
| - End Date: End date for filtering the invoices. | |
| - Customer ID: Filter by customer ID. | |
| - Invoice Status: The status of the invoice (Open, Paid, Voided). |
Output
The output of the "Get Many" operation will be structured as an array of JSON objects, where each object represents an invoice record retrieved from the API. Each invoice object typically contains details such as invoice ID, customer information, amounts, dates, and status. If the node can output binary data, it would generally represent file attachments related to the invoices.
Dependencies
This node requires an API key credential for authentication with the external inventory management API. Users must ensure that they have configured the necessary credentials in n8n to enable successful API calls.
Troubleshooting
Common Issues:
- Users may encounter issues if the API key is invalid or not set up correctly, leading to authentication errors.
- If the specified filters do not match any records, the output may be empty, which could be confusing for users expecting results.
Error Messages:
- "Authentication failed": This indicates that the provided API key is incorrect or missing. Ensure that the correct API key is configured in n8n.
- "No records found": This message appears when the applied filters yield no matching invoices. Users should verify their filter criteria to ensure they are correct.
