TeleFlow

Interact with TeleFlow API

Overview

This node interacts with the TeleFlow API to manage various resources, including Billing Entries. Specifically, for the Billing Entry - Create operation, it allows users to create new billing entries by sending specified fields to the TeleFlow system.

Common scenarios where this node is beneficial include automating the creation of billing records based on external triggers or workflows, integrating TeleFlow billing data with other systems, or programmatically managing billing entries without manual input.

For example, a user might use this node to automatically create a billing entry whenever a new customer signs up, passing relevant details such as billing name, amount, and description through the node's fields.

Properties

Name Meaning
Fields A collection of field-value pairs to include in the billing entry creation request. Users can add multiple fields specifying the name of the field and its corresponding value.

The "Fields" property supports multiple entries, each consisting of:

  • Name: The name of the field to set in the billing entry.
  • Value: The value to assign to that field.

This flexible structure allows users to specify any number of custom fields required by the TeleFlow API for creating a billing entry.

Output

The node outputs an array of JSON objects, each representing the response from the TeleFlow API after creating a billing entry. The JSON output contains the details of the newly created billing entry as returned by the API.

No binary data output is produced by this operation.

Dependencies

  • Requires an active connection to the TeleFlow API via an API key credential configured in n8n.
  • The node uses HTTP requests to communicate with the TeleFlow API endpoint, which must be accessible from the n8n environment.
  • The base URL for the API is taken from the configured credentials.

Troubleshooting

  • Missing Required Fields: If mandatory fields for creating a billing entry are not provided, the API may return errors. Ensure all required fields are included in the "Fields" property.
  • API Authentication Errors: If the API key or authentication token is invalid or missing, the node will fail to connect. Verify the credential configuration.
  • Network Issues: Connectivity problems to the TeleFlow API endpoint will cause request failures. Check network access and firewall settings.
  • Error Messages: Common error messages include:
    • "ID is required for get/update/delete operations" — Not applicable here since create does not require an ID.
    • API-specific validation errors indicating missing or invalid fields.

To resolve errors, review the error message details, ensure correct field names and values, and verify API credentials.
