Overview

This node integrates with the GrandCentral API to perform various automated actions. Specifically, for the "Deals" resource and the "Change Deal Owner" operation, it allows users to change the owner of a specified deal within their CRM or sales pipeline system. This is useful in scenarios where deals need to be reassigned due to team changes, workload balancing, or ownership transfers.

Practical examples:

  • Automatically reassigning deals when a salesperson leaves the company.
  • Changing deal ownership based on lead qualification or territory rules.
  • Integrating with other workflows that trigger ownership changes after certain events.

Properties

Name Meaning
Authentication Method of authentication; currently supports "Access Token"
Deal The unique identifier (ID) of the deal whose owner you want to change
Owner The unique identifier (ID) of the new owner to assign to the deal

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the response from the GrandCentral API after attempting to change the deal owner. The output contains details about the success or failure of the operation and any relevant metadata returned by the API.

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 expired API token leading to authentication failures.
    • Incorrect deal or owner IDs causing the API to reject the request.
    • Network connectivity problems preventing communication with the GrandCentral API.

  • Error messages:

    • Authentication errors typically indicate invalid credentials; verify and update the API key.
    • Validation errors may occur if required parameters like "Deal" or "Owner" are missing or incorrect; ensure these fields are correctly filled.
    • API rate limits or server errors might cause temporary failures; retry after some time or check API status.
