Overview

This node integrates with the Salla.sa e-commerce platform API to manage shipments. Specifically, the "Create" operation for the Shipment resource allows users to create new shipment records in their Salla store. This is useful for automating logistics workflows, such as generating shipment entries when orders are processed or updating shipping information programmatically.

Practical examples include:

  • Automatically creating a shipment record when an order is confirmed.
  • Integrating with external shipping providers by creating shipments in Salla based on external triggers.
  • Managing shipment statuses and details without manual intervention.

Properties

Name Meaning
Additional Fields Optional fields to specify additional shipment details:
- Name The name of the shipment resource
- Description A description of the shipment
- Status The status of the shipment; options are: Active, Inactive, Draft

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the created shipment resource as returned by the Salla API. This typically includes shipment identifiers, status, timestamps, and any other metadata provided by the API response.

No binary data output is involved in this operation.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API authentication token configured via OAuth2 credentials to access the Salla API.
  • Relies on the sallaApiRequest helper function to make HTTP requests to the Salla API endpoints.
  • The node expects network connectivity to the Salla.sa platform.

Troubleshooting

  • Common issues:

    • Missing or invalid API credentials will cause authentication failures.
    • Providing invalid or incomplete additional fields may result in API validation errors.
    • Network connectivity problems can prevent successful API calls.

  • Error messages:

    • "The operation "create" is not supported for shipments!" — indicates an unsupported operation was requested; ensure the operation parameter is set correctly.
    • API error messages from Salla (e.g., validation errors) will be passed through; check the message for required fields or format issues.

  • Resolutions:

    • Verify that the API key or OAuth2 credentials are correctly configured and have necessary permissions.
    • Double-check the input fields for correctness and completeness.
    • Ensure stable internet connection and that the Salla API endpoint is reachable.
