Housecall Pro

Interact with the Housecall Pro API

Actions20

Overview

This node enables the "Application" resource's "Enable Application" operation by sending a POST request to the Housecall Pro API endpoint /application/enable. It is used to activate or enable a specific application feature or integration for a company within the Housecall Pro system.

Common scenarios where this node is beneficial include automating the activation of applications or integrations as part of a workflow, such as enabling payment processing, scheduling tools, or other third-party app connections when onboarding a new client or setting up a new service.

Example use case: Automatically enable a particular application feature for a company after certain conditions are met in your workflow, ensuring that the application is ready to use without manual intervention.

Properties

Name Meaning
Additional Fields A collection for any extra optional fields that might be supported by the API endpoint. Currently no predefined options are listed.

Output

The node outputs the JSON response from the Housecall Pro API after attempting to enable the application. The structure of the json output field corresponds directly to the API's response and typically includes confirmation details about the enabled application status.

No binary data output is produced by this operation.

Dependencies

  • Requires an active connection to the Housecall Pro API.
  • Requires an API authentication token credential configured in n8n to authorize requests.
  • The base URL for API requests is https://api.housecallpro.com.
  • The node sends a POST request to /application/enable to perform the enable operation.

Troubleshooting

  • Authentication errors: If the API key or token is missing or invalid, the node will fail with an authorization error. Ensure the API credentials are correctly set up in n8n.
  • API endpoint errors: If the /application/enable endpoint is unavailable or returns an error, verify that the Housecall Pro API service is operational and that the account has permission to enable applications.
  • Empty or unexpected responses: If the output JSON is empty or does not confirm the enablement, check if additional required parameters or headers are needed by the API (none are specified here, but the API documentation should be consulted).
  • No additional fields available: The "Additional Fields" property currently has no options; if the API later supports more parameters, ensure they are added properly.
