Vtiger CRM

Vtiger CRM (Open Source) Node

Overview

This node integrates with the Vtiger CRM system, enabling various operations such as creating, deleting, querying, and managing CRM data via its webservice API. The "Logout" operation specifically is intended to log out a user session from Vtiger CRM.

However, based on the source code, the "Logout" operation is not implemented in this node. Attempting to execute the Logout operation will result in an error indicating that it is not supported.

In general, this node is useful for automating interactions with Vtiger CRM, such as managing contacts, leads, or other CRM entities programmatically within n8n workflows.

Properties

Name Meaning
Session Name The name of the active session obtained through a prior Login operation. Required to authenticate subsequent requests except login.

Note: For the Logout operation, only the "Session Name" property is relevant and required.

Output

The node returns the JSON response from the Vtiger CRM webservice API corresponding to the requested operation.

For the Logout operation, since it is not implemented, no output is produced; instead, an error is thrown.

In general, the output JSON structure depends on the specific operation called and reflects the API's response, typically including success status, data payload, or error messages.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API authentication credential for Vtiger CRM (an API key or access token).
  • Uses HTTP requests to communicate with the Vtiger CRM webservice endpoint.
  • The node expects the base URL of the Vtiger CRM instance and credentials to be configured in n8n.

Troubleshooting

  • Error: "logout operation is not implemented."
    This error occurs because the Logout operation has not been implemented in the node's code. To work around this, consider manually invalidating sessions via the Vtiger CRM interface or API if supported outside this node.

  • Missing or invalid Session Name
    Since the session name is required for most operations, ensure it is correctly obtained from a successful Login operation and passed to subsequent operations.

  • Credential issues
    Verify that the API credentials are correct and have sufficient permissions to perform the desired operations.
