Interact with the Zitadel API

Actions99

Overview

This node is designed to submit an invoice related to expenses within an accounting or financial management system. It allows users to send invoice data associated with a specific account, facilitating automated expense processing and record keeping. Common scenarios include automating invoice submissions for expense tracking, integrating with accounting workflows, or syncing invoices from external systems into a centralized platform.

For example, a user might use this node to automatically submit vendor invoices linked to particular accounts after receiving them via email or another input source, streamlining the accounts payable process.

Properties

Name Meaning
Account Id Identifier of the account to which the invoice will be submitted

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the result of the invoice submission operation. This typically includes confirmation details such as the submitted invoice's ID, status, timestamps, and any relevant metadata returned by the API. The output structure enables downstream nodes to access and utilize the response data for further processing or logging.

There is no indication that the node outputs binary data.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for authentication with the external service.
  • Needs configuration of the base URL for the API endpoint in the node credentials.
  • Depends on an OpenAPI-based client library to interact with the external API.
  • Uses standard HTTP headers for JSON content negotiation.

Troubleshooting

  • Common issues:

    • Missing or incorrect Account Id property may cause the API call to fail.
    • Invalid or missing API credentials can lead to authentication errors.
    • Network connectivity problems or incorrect base URL configuration may prevent successful requests.
  • Error messages:

    • Authentication failures usually indicate invalid or missing API keys; verify credentials.
    • Validation errors from the API often point to missing required fields like Account Id.
    • Timeout or connection errors suggest network issues or incorrect endpoint URLs.

Resolving these typically involves verifying input properties, ensuring valid credentials are configured, and confirming network accessibility to the API endpoint.
