Overview
This node integrates with the Housecall Pro API to manage various resources such as applications, customers, jobs, and more. Specifically, for the Application resource and the Get Address operation (which is actually under the Customer resource in this implementation), it retrieves a specific customer's address by using both the customer ID and the address ID.
Common scenarios where this node is beneficial include:
- Fetching detailed address information of a customer for service scheduling or billing.
- Integrating customer address data into workflows for dispatching field employees.
- Synchronizing customer address details between Housecall Pro and other systems.
For example, you might use this node to get the exact address of a customer before creating a job appointment or sending an invoice.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Application Operation Routing | Internal routing configuration for application-related API requests (hidden from users). |
Note: The Get Address operation is actually part of the Customer resource in the source code, requiring these input properties:
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Customer ID | The unique identifier of the customer whose address you want to retrieve. |
| Address ID | The unique identifier of the specific address to retrieve for the given customer. |
These IDs are required to specify which customer's address to fetch.
Output
The node outputs JSON data representing the requested customer's address details. This typically includes fields such as street, city, state, zip code, country, and any additional address lines.
If binary data were involved (not in this case), it would be summarized accordingly, but here the output is purely JSON with address information.
Dependencies
- Requires an active connection to the Housecall Pro API.
- Needs an API authentication token credential configured in n8n to authorize requests.
- The base URL for API requests is
https://api.housecallpro.com. - No additional external dependencies beyond the API and credentials.
Troubleshooting
- Invalid Customer ID or Address ID: If the provided IDs do not exist or are incorrect, the API will return an error indicating the resource was not found. Verify the IDs before running the node.
- Authentication Errors: Missing or invalid API credentials will cause authorization failures. Ensure the API key/token is correctly set up in n8n credentials.
- Network Issues: Connectivity problems can prevent reaching the Housecall Pro API. Check network access and proxy settings if applicable.
- API Rate Limits: Excessive requests may trigger rate limiting by the API. Implement retry logic or reduce request frequency if needed.

This summary focuses on the Application resource context you provided, but note that the "Get Address" operation is implemented under the Customer resource in the source code. To get a customer's address, you must provide both the customer ID and the address ID.
