Overview
The node interacts with the Housecall Pro API to manage various resources, including Customers and Applications. Specifically, for the Customer resource and the Enable Application operation, it enables the Housecall Pro application for a company. This is useful in scenarios where a business wants to activate or re-activate their Housecall Pro account programmatically via n8n workflows.
Practical examples include:
- Automatically enabling the Housecall Pro application when onboarding a new client.
- Reactivating the application after certain conditions are met in an automated workflow.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Customer Operation Routing | Internal routing configuration for customer-related API requests (hidden from users). |
For the Enable Application operation under the Application resource (relevant here since "Enable Application" is an application operation), the node uses:
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Additional Fields | Optional additional parameters for the enable request (empty by default). |
Note: The provided properties JSON mainly describes customer operations, but the Enable Application operation belongs to the Application resource and uses a POST request to /application/enable without additional user-configurable fields.
Output
The node outputs the JSON response returned by the Housecall Pro API after enabling the application. This typically includes confirmation details about the application's enabled status for the company.
No binary data output is involved in this operation.
Dependencies
- Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the Housecall Pro API.
- The base URL for API requests is
https://api.housecallpro.com. - The node expects proper configuration of credentials within n8n to authorize API calls.
Troubleshooting
Common issues:
- Invalid or missing API credentials will cause authentication failures.
- Network connectivity problems can prevent reaching the Housecall Pro API.
- Attempting to enable an application that is already enabled might return an error or no change.
Error messages:
- Authentication errors usually indicate invalid API keys; verify and update credentials.
- HTTP 4xx or 5xx errors suggest issues with the request or server; check request parameters and API status.
- If the node returns unexpected responses, ensure the Housecall Pro API endpoint has not changed.
