Overview

This node integrates with the myLIMS system, allowing users to retrieve various types of information related to accounts and works managed within myLIMS. Specifically, for the Account Emails operation, it fetches the list of email addresses associated with a given account ID.

Common scenarios where this node is beneficial include:

  • Automating retrieval of contact emails for client accounts.
  • Synchronizing account email data from myLIMS into other systems like CRMs or mailing platforms.
  • Generating reports or notifications based on account email contacts.

For example, a user can input an Account ID and get all registered emails for that account to send targeted communications or verify contact details.

Properties

Name Meaning
Account ID The unique numeric identifier of the account whose emails you want to retrieve. Example: 10

Output

The node outputs a JSON array where each item corresponds to an email record associated with the specified account. Each JSON object in the output typically contains fields representing the email details as returned by the myLIMS API (e.g., email address, type, status). The exact structure depends on the API response but generally includes all relevant email information linked to the account.

No binary data output is produced by this operation.

Dependencies

  • Requires an active connection to the myLIMS API.
  • Needs an API authentication token or key configured in n8n credentials to authorize requests.
  • The node uses HTTP GET requests to fetch data from endpoints like /Accounts/{accountId}/emails.

Troubleshooting

  • API Request failed: This error indicates the request to myLIMS API did not succeed. Common causes include invalid Account ID, network issues, or expired/incorrect API credentials. Verify the Account ID exists and the API credentials are correctly set up.
  • Unsupported resource or operation: If the resource or operation parameters are incorrect or unsupported, the node will throw an error. Ensure "Resource" is set to "Account" and "Operation" to "Account Emails" for this use case.
  • Empty results: If no emails are returned, confirm that the account has associated email records in myLIMS.
