GrandCentral

Consume GrandCentral API (Beta)

Overview

This node integrates with the GrandCentral API to perform various actions. Specifically, for the Contact resource and the Add a Note operation, it allows users to add a note to a specified contact within their GrandCentral account. This is useful in scenarios where you want to programmatically append additional information or comments to a contact's record, such as logging interactions, reminders, or important details.

Practical examples include:

  • Automatically adding notes to contacts after receiving form submissions.
  • Logging call summaries or meeting notes to contacts after an event.
  • Appending follow-up instructions or status updates to contact records during workflows.

Properties

Name Meaning
Authentication Method of authentication; currently supports "Access Token"
Contact The identifier (ID or unique string) of the contact to which the note will be added
Note The textual content of the note to add to the specified contact

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the response from the GrandCentral API after attempting to add the note. The output structure corresponds to the API's response for the action performed, typically including confirmation details or the updated contact information.

No binary data output is produced by this node.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for authenticating requests to the GrandCentral API.
  • The node makes HTTP POST requests to the /automations/action endpoint of the GrandCentral API.
  • Proper configuration of the API key credential in n8n is necessary for successful execution.

Troubleshooting

  • Common Issues:

    • Invalid or missing API key: Ensure that the API key credential is correctly set up and has the necessary permissions.
    • Incorrect contact identifier: Verify that the contact ID provided exists in the GrandCentral system.
    • Network or API downtime: Check network connectivity and GrandCentral service status.
  • Error Messages:

    • Authentication errors typically indicate invalid or expired tokens; re-authenticate or update credentials.
    • Validation errors may occur if required parameters like contact or note are missing or malformed.
    • API rate limits might cause request failures; consider implementing retries or backoff strategies.
