Overview
This node integrates with the Exante CRM API, enabling users to manage various CRM entities such as applications, documents, document types, tags, and tag values. Specifically, the Document Type - Get Many operation retrieves a list of document types from the CRM system.
Typical use cases include:
- Fetching all available document types to display in a user interface.
- Synchronizing document type data between Exante CRM and other systems.
- Automating workflows that depend on document type metadata.
For example, a user might want to retrieve all document types to populate a dropdown menu for document classification in another application.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Environment | Selects the API environment to connect to: Production, Staging, or Custom. |
| Custom API URL | (Shown only if Environment is Custom) The base URL for the custom API endpoint. |
| Custom Auth URL | (Shown only if Environment is Custom) The OAuth2 token endpoint URL for authentication. |
These properties configure how the node connects to the Exante CRM API, including which environment to target and any custom URLs if applicable.
Output
The output is an array of JSON objects representing document types retrieved from the Exante CRM API. Each item corresponds to a document type entity with its associated fields as returned by the API.
The structure of each JSON object typically includes identifiers and descriptive fields relevant to document types, although exact fields depend on the API response.
No binary data output is produced by this operation.
Dependencies
- Requires an API key credential configured with OAuth2 authentication to access the Exante CRM API.
- The node supports connecting to predefined environments (Production, Staging) or a custom API URL.
- If using a custom environment, both the custom API base URL and custom OAuth2 token URL must be provided.
- The node depends on internal helper classes managing authentication tokens and API requests.
Troubleshooting
- Missing Required Parameters: If the custom environment is selected but the custom API URL or auth URL is not provided, the node will throw an error indicating these are required.
- Authentication Failures: Errors obtaining or refreshing the OAuth2 token may occur if credentials are invalid or expired.
- Unsupported Operation: Attempting to run an operation not supported for the selected resource will result in an error.
- API Request Failures: Network issues or incorrect URLs can cause request failures; verify connectivity and URLs.
- JSON Parsing Errors: Not applicable for this operation but relevant for others accepting JSON input.
To resolve errors:
- Ensure all required parameters are set correctly.
- Verify API credentials and permissions.
- Check network connectivity and endpoint URLs.
- Review error messages for specific guidance.
