Zep v3

Interact with Zep Cloud v3 API

Actions44

Overview

The node interacts with the Zep Cloud v3 API to manage user data within the Zep platform. Specifically, the "Get User" operation retrieves detailed information about a single user by their unique identifier. This is useful in scenarios where you need to fetch user profile details for further processing, reporting, or integration with other systems.

Practical examples include:

  • Retrieving user details to personalize communications or workflows.
  • Fetching user metadata for analytics or auditing purposes.
  • Integrating user information into CRM or customer support tools.

Properties

Name Meaning
User ID The unique identifier of the user whose information you want to retrieve.

Output

The output JSON contains the user object as returned by the Zep Cloud API. This typically includes fields such as user ID, email, first name, last name, metadata, and any fact rating instructions associated with the user.

Example structure (simplified):

{
  "user_id": "string",
  "email": "string",
  "first_name": "string",
  "last_name": "string",
  "metadata": { "key": "value" },
  "fact_rating_instruction": {
    "instruction": "string",
    "examples": {
      "high": "string",
      "medium": "string",
      "low": "string"
    }
  }
}

No binary data output is produced by this operation.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for authenticating requests to the Zep Cloud API.
  • The node must be configured with this API key credential in n8n.
  • Network access to https://api.getzep.com is required.

Troubleshooting

  • Common issues:

    • Invalid or missing User ID parameter will cause the request to fail.
    • Authentication errors if the API key credential is not set up correctly.
    • Network connectivity issues preventing access to the Zep API endpoint.

  • Error messages:

    • "Unknown user operation: get": Indicates the operation parameter was incorrect or unsupported.
    • HTTP errors from the API (e.g., 404 Not Found) usually mean the specified user does not exist.
    • JSON parsing errors may occur if metadata or other JSON inputs are malformed.

  • Resolutions:

    • Ensure the User ID is correct and exists in the Zep system.
    • Verify that the API key credential is valid and properly configured.
    • Check network connectivity and firewall settings.
    • Validate JSON inputs before use.
