Overview
This node integrates with the Upgrade.chat platform to create new products. It allows users to define various product attributes such as type, pricing, description, and subscription options. This is useful for businesses managing their product catalog in Upgrade.chat, especially when automating product creation workflows that involve different product types (e.g., general goods, events, subscriptions, digital products).
Practical examples include:
- Automatically adding a new digital product with specific pricing and trial periods.
- Creating subscription-based products with custom billing cycles.
- Managing event tickets or general merchandise with detailed descriptions and SKU codes.

- Network issues: Connectivity problems can cause request failures; check network access to Upgrade.chat endpoints.
- HTML description restrictions: Avoid including JavaScript or media tags in the Description HTML field to prevent rejection by the API.
