Overview
This node integrates with the SugarCRM API to perform various operations on different SugarCRM resources, including Meters. Specifically, for the "Meter" resource and the "Delete" operation, the node deletes a meter record identified by its unique ID from the SugarCRM system.
Common scenarios where this node is beneficial include:
- Automating cleanup of obsolete or incorrect meter records in SugarCRM.
- Integrating with other systems to remove meter data when corresponding external records are deleted.
- Managing CRM data lifecycle by programmatically deleting meters as part of workflows.
Example use case:
- A utility company uses SugarCRM to track meters installed at customer sites. When a meter is decommissioned, this node can be used in an automation workflow to delete the meter record from SugarCRM automatically.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| ID | The unique identifier of the meter record to delete. This is required to specify which meter to remove. |
Output
The output JSON contains the response from the SugarCRM API after attempting to delete the specified meter record. Typically, this will confirm successful deletion or provide error details if the deletion failed.
No binary data is output by this node.
Dependencies
- Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the SugarCRM instance.
- Needs the base URL and authentication credentials (username, password, client ID, client secret) configured in the node's credentials.
- Uses OAuth2 password grant flow to obtain an access token before making API requests.
Troubleshooting
- Missing or invalid ID: If the ID property is empty or incorrect, the API will fail to find the record to delete. Ensure the correct meter ID is provided.
- Authentication errors: If the API credentials are invalid or expired, the node will throw authentication errors. Verify the API credentials and permissions.
- Record not found: Attempting to delete a non-existent meter ID will result in an error. Confirm the meter exists before deletion.
- API rate limits or connectivity issues: Network problems or API throttling may cause request failures. Retry or check network connectivity.
- Unexpected API response structure: If the API changes or returns unexpected data, the node might throw errors. Check SugarCRM API documentation for updates.
