Gladly

Interact with Gladly API

Overview

This node interacts with the Gladly API to create a new customer item within a conversation context. Specifically, the "Create Customer Item" operation allows users to associate an item with a particular customer by specifying the customer's ID. This is useful in scenarios where you want to programmatically add items or records linked to customers during conversations, such as logging purchases, support tickets, or other customer-related data.

Practical examples include:

  • Adding a purchased product record to a customer's profile after a sales conversation.
  • Logging a service request item linked to a customer during a support chat.
  • Creating custom entries related to customer interactions for later analysis.

Properties

Name Meaning
Customer Id The unique identifier of the customer associated with the item. You can find this ID using the "Find customers" API endpoint.

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the newly created customer item as returned by the Gladly API. This typically includes details about the item and its association with the specified customer. There is no indication that binary data is output by this node.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the Gladly API.
  • The base URL for API requests is set to https://petstore3.swagger.io/api/v3 (likely a placeholder).
  • The node depends on the @devlikeapro/n8n-openapi-node package for building properties and handling OpenAPI-based requests.
  • Proper configuration of the Gladly API credentials in n8n is necessary for successful execution.

Troubleshooting

  • Missing or invalid Customer Id: Since the Customer Id is required, ensure it is provided and valid. Errors may occur if the ID does not correspond to an existing customer.
  • Authentication errors: Verify that the API key credential is correctly configured and has sufficient permissions.
  • API endpoint issues: The base URL appears to be a placeholder; confirm that the correct Gladly API endpoint is used in production.
  • Network or connectivity problems: Ensure that n8n can reach the Gladly API servers without firewall or proxy restrictions.

Common error messages might include authentication failures, resource not found (invalid customer ID), or validation errors due to missing required fields.
