Overview

This node integrates with the myLIMS system, allowing users to retrieve detailed information about accounts and works managed within myLIMS via its API. Specifically for the Account - Account operation, it fetches information about a single account by its unique identifier.

Common scenarios include:

  • Retrieving detailed data of a specific account for reporting or processing.
  • Integrating account information into workflows that require up-to-date customer or client details.
  • Automating data synchronization between myLIMS and other systems by fetching account records on demand.

Example use case: A laboratory automation workflow might use this node to pull account details before generating reports or sending notifications related to that account.

Properties

Name Meaning
Account ID The unique identifier of the account to retrieve. This is required to specify which account's information should be fetched from myLIMS.

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the retrieved account information as returned by the myLIMS API. The structure corresponds directly to the account resource in myLIMS, typically including fields such as account name, contact details, addresses, emails, and other metadata associated with the account.

No binary data output is produced by this operation.

Dependencies

  • Requires an active connection to the myLIMS API.
  • An API authentication token (credential) must be configured in n8n to authorize requests.
  • Network access to the myLIMS service endpoint is necessary.

Troubleshooting

  • API Request failed: This error indicates that the request to the myLIMS API did not succeed. Common causes include invalid or missing API credentials, network connectivity issues, or incorrect Account ID values.
    • Verify that the API key or authentication token is correctly set up in n8n credentials.
    • Ensure the Account ID provided exists and is correctly formatted.
    • Check network connectivity and that the myLIMS API endpoint is reachable.
  • Unsupported resource or operation: If the node configuration specifies a resource or operation not supported by the node, it will throw an error. Confirm that "Account" is selected as the resource and "Account" as the operation for this use case.
