HostBill

Overview

This node allows you to delete a contact from a client's profile in HostBill via its API. It is useful for automating the removal of client contacts, such as when a contact leaves an organization or needs to be disassociated from a client account. For example, you might use this node in a workflow that synchronizes your CRM with HostBill, ensuring that removed contacts are also deleted from HostBill.

Properties

Output

The output will be a JSON object (or array of objects if processing multiple items) representing the result of the delete operation. Typical fields may include:

• A success indicator or status message.
• If an error occurs and "Continue On Fail" is enabled, an error field with the error message.

Example output:

[
  {
    "success": true,
    "message": "Contact removed successfully."
  }
]

Or, on error (with "Continue On Fail"):

[
  {
    "error": "Contact not found."
  }
]

Dependencies

• HostBill API: Requires valid HostBill API credentials configured in n8n under the name hostBillApi.
• n8n Configuration: No additional environment variables required beyond standard credential setup.

Troubleshooting

• Invalid Credentials: If the API credentials are incorrect or missing, the node will throw an authentication error. Ensure your hostBillApi credentials are set up correctly in n8n.
• Contact Not Found: If the provided Contact ID does not exist, you may receive an error message like "Contact not found.". Double-check the Contact ID.
• Client ID Issues: If the Client ID is invalid or does not match the contact, the operation will fail. Verify both IDs before running the workflow.
• API Connectivity: Network issues or HostBill API downtime can cause connection errors.
