Overview
The HostBill node for n8n allows you to interact with the HostBill API. Specifically, when using the Service resource and the Get Product Details operation, this node retrieves detailed information about a specific product in your HostBill system by its Product ID. This is useful for automating workflows that require product data, such as synchronizing product catalogs, generating reports, or integrating HostBill products with other systems.
Example scenarios:
- Fetching product details to display in dashboards.
- Using product information in automated billing or provisioning processes.
- Integrating HostBill product data with external inventory or CRM systems.
Properties
| Name | Type | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Product ID | Number | The unique identifier of the product whose details you want to retrieve from HostBill. |
Output
The node outputs a JSON object (or an array of objects) containing the details of the requested product. The exact structure depends on the HostBill API response for the "Get Product Details" operation, but typically includes fields such as product name, description, pricing, and other relevant attributes.
If an error occurs and "Continue On Fail" is enabled, the output will include an error field with the error message.
