Overview

This node integrates with the Flectra API, allowing users to perform various operations on Flectra resources such as creating, deleting, retrieving, updating items, and triggering workflow actions. It is useful for automating interactions with Flectra ERP/CRM systems, enabling seamless data management and workflow automation within n8n. For example, users can create new records, fetch existing data, update records, or trigger workflows based on specific events.

Use Case Examples

2. Retrieve all product records from Flectra to synchronize with an external inventory system.
3. Update an existing invoice in Flectra based on payment status changes.
4. Trigger a custom workflow in Flectra when a specific event occurs in n8n.
