Braintree

Consume the Braintree API gateway functionality

Overview

This node integrates with the Braintree API to perform operations related to transactions. Specifically, the 'Find Recent' operation under the 'Transaction' resource is designed to retrieve recent transaction data from the Braintree payment gateway. This node is useful for workflows that require fetching and processing recent payment transactions, such as financial reporting, fraud detection, or customer order verification.

Use Case Examples

A user wants to automatically fetch the latest transactions from their Braintree account to update their internal accounting system.
A workflow that triggers alerts for recent high-value transactions to monitor potential fraud.

Output

JSON

transactionId - Unique identifier of the transaction
status - Current status of the transaction (e.g., settled, submitted for settlement)
amount - Transaction amount
createdAt - Timestamp when the transaction was created
customerDetails - Information about the customer involved in the transaction
paymentMethod - Details about the payment method used in the transaction

Dependencies

Braintree API access with appropriate credentials

Troubleshooting

Common issues include authentication failures due to incorrect or missing API credentials. Ensure the Braintree API key credential is correctly configured in the node.
Network or gateway errors can occur if the Braintree service is unreachable or if there are connectivity issues. Verify network access and Braintree service status.
Errors during API calls are caught and logged; if an error occurs, the node throws a NodeApiError with details. Check the error message for specifics and ensure the API request parameters are valid.
