Overview
This node interacts with the Exante CRM API, specifically to manage tags among other resources. The "Tag: Get Many" operation retrieves a list of tags from the Exante CRM system. This is useful when you want to fetch all available tags for categorizing or filtering CRM data such as applications or documents.
Common scenarios include:
- Synchronizing tag lists from Exante CRM into another system.
- Displaying available tags in a dashboard or report.
- Automating workflows that depend on existing tags.
Example: You might use this node to get all tags and then loop through them to find specific tags to apply to new CRM records or to analyze tag usage.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Environment | Selects the API environment to connect to. Options: Production, Staging, Custom API URL. |
| Custom API URL | (Shown only if Environment = Custom) The base URL for the custom API (without /api). |
| Custom Auth URL | (Shown only if Environment = Custom) The OAuth2 token endpoint URL for authentication. |
Output
The output is an array of JSON objects representing tags retrieved from the Exante CRM API. Each item corresponds to one tag entity with its properties as returned by the API.
The json field contains the tag data structure, which typically includes tag identifiers, names, and possibly metadata related to each tag.
No binary data output is produced by this operation.
Dependencies
- Requires an OAuth2 API key credential for authenticating with the Exante CRM API.
- The node supports connecting to predefined environments (Production, Staging) or a custom API URL with a custom OAuth2 token endpoint.
- Proper configuration of credentials and environment URLs is necessary for successful API communication.
Troubleshooting
- Missing or invalid credentials: Ensure that the OAuth2 API key credential is correctly set up and authorized.
- Custom environment errors: If using a custom environment, both the Custom API URL and Custom Auth URL must be provided; otherwise, the node will throw an error.
- API connectivity issues: Network problems or incorrect URLs can cause failures. Verify URLs and network access.
- Empty or malformed responses: Check that the API is returning valid tag data and that the node parameters are correct.
- Operation not supported error: Occurs if the selected resource-operation combination is invalid. Confirm that "Tag" resource and "Get Many" operation are selected.
