OmahaHomesForSaleInstall

Overview

This node integrates with the Omaha Homes For Sale CRM API to manage "Favorites" associated with leads. Specifically, the New Favorite operation allows users to create a new favorite listing for a lead by associating a property (identified by MLS number and other details) with the lead's email address.

Common scenarios where this node is beneficial include:

• Real estate agents or brokers wanting to programmatically add favorite property listings to a lead’s profile in their CRM.
• Automating workflows where leads express interest in specific properties, and those favorites need to be tracked centrally.
• Syncing external lead management systems or forms with the Omaha Homes For Sale CRM to keep favorites updated.

Practical example: When a lead submits a form indicating interest in a particular home, this node can be used to add that home as a favorite to the lead’s record automatically.

Properties

Dependencies

• Requires an API key credential for authenticating requests to the Omaha Homes For Sale CRM API.
• The base URL for API requests is http://www.omahahomesforsale.com/api/crm/v1.
• The node uses HTTP POST requests to the endpoint /leads/{email}/favorites to create a new favorite.
• Proper configuration of the API key credential in n8n is necessary for successful authentication.

Troubleshooting

• Common issues:

  • Invalid or missing API key credential will cause authentication failures.
  • Incorrect or missing required parameters (email, mlsNumber, type, feed, source) will result in request errors.
  • Network connectivity issues may prevent reaching the API endpoint.

• Error messages:

  • HTTP 400 Bad Request: Usually indicates missing or invalid input parameters. Verify all required fields are correctly set.
  • HTTP 401 Unauthorized: Indicates authentication failure due to invalid or missing API key.
  • Other errors will include error messages returned by the API; these should be reviewed to adjust inputs accordingly.

• Resolution tips:

  • Ensure the API key credential is valid and properly configured.
  • Double-check all required input fields for correctness and completeness.
  • Review API documentation for any constraints on field values.
  • Enable "Continue On Fail" in the node settings if you want the workflow to proceed despite individual errors.
