Overview
The HostBill node for n8n allows you to interact with the HostBill API, specifically to perform a "Transfer" operation on a Domain resource. This is useful in scenarios where you need to automate domain transfer processes within your workflow, such as moving domains between accounts or registrars via HostBill.
Practical Example:
You could use this node in an automation that triggers when a customer requests a domain transfer, automatically initiating the transfer process through HostBill and updating records accordingly.
Properties
| Name | Type | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Domain ID | Number | The unique identifier of the domain to be transferred. Required for the transfer action. |
Output
- The output will be a JSON object (or array of objects) representing the result of the domain transfer operation.
- If an error occurs and "Continue On Fail" is enabled, the output will include an
errorfield with the error message. - The exact structure of the successful response depends on the HostBill API's response for the domain transfer operation, but typically includes status and details about the transfer.
Dependencies
- External Service: Requires access to a HostBill instance with API enabled.
- API Credentials: You must configure valid HostBill API credentials in n8n under the name
hostBillApi. - n8n Configuration: No special environment variables are required beyond standard credential setup.
Troubleshooting
Common Issues:
- Invalid Domain ID: Supplying a non-existent or incorrect Domain ID will result in an error from the HostBill API.
- Authentication Errors: Incorrect or missing API credentials will prevent the node from executing successfully.
- API Connectivity: Network issues or incorrect HostBill API endpoint configuration can cause failures.
Error Messages:
"Cannot read property 'execute' of undefined": Likely due to misconfiguration of the resource or operation parameters."Invalid credentials": Check your HostBill API credentials in n8n."Domain not found": Ensure the Domain ID provided exists in your HostBill system.
