Overview

This node interacts with the Housecall Pro API to retrieve detailed information about a specific customer by their unique Customer ID. It is useful in scenarios where you need to fetch up-to-date customer data for further processing, reporting, or integration with other systems. For example, you might use this node to pull customer details before creating an invoice, sending notifications, or updating records in a CRM.

Customer ID The unique identifier of the customer whose details you want to retrieve.

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the customer's full details as returned by the Housecall Pro API. This typically includes fields such as the customer's name, contact information, company, notification preferences, and any other attributes stored in the system for that customer.

No binary data output is produced by this operation.

Dependencies

  • Requires an active connection to the Housecall Pro API.
  • Requires an API authentication token configured in n8n credentials to authorize requests.
  • The base URL for API requests is https://api.housecallpro.com.
  • The node sends HTTP GET requests to the endpoint /customers/{customerId}, where {customerId} is replaced by the provided Customer ID.

Troubleshooting

  • Invalid Customer ID: If the Customer ID does not exist or is malformed, the API will likely return a 404 Not Found error. Verify the Customer ID is correct.
  • Authentication Errors: Missing or invalid API credentials will cause authorization failures (e.g., 401 Unauthorized). Ensure the API key credential is correctly set up in n8n.
  • Network Issues: Connectivity problems can lead to request timeouts or failures. Check network access to the Housecall Pro API endpoint.
  • API Rate Limits: Excessive requests may be throttled by the API. Implement retry logic or reduce request frequency if needed.
