Overview
The node interacts with the Housecall Pro API to manage customer-related data. Specifically, for the Customer resource and the Get Application operation, it retrieves application information related to a company. This is useful in scenarios where you want to fetch details about the Housecall Pro application status or configuration for a given company.
Practical examples include:
- Checking if the Housecall Pro application is enabled or disabled for a company.
- Retrieving application metadata or settings associated with a company.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Resource | The type of entity to interact with; here it is "Customer". |
| Operation | The action to perform; here it is "Get Application" which fetches application info. |
| Additional Fields | Optional parameters that can be added depending on the operation (empty for this case). |
Note: For the Get Application operation under the Customer resource, no additional input properties are required beyond selecting the operation itself.
Output
The node outputs JSON data representing the application information for a company retrieved from the Housecall Pro API. The structure typically includes fields describing the application's current state, configuration, or metadata as returned by the /application endpoint.
If binary data were involved, it would represent files or attachments related to the application, but in this case, the output is purely JSON.
Dependencies
- Requires an API key credential for authenticating requests to the Housecall Pro API.
- The base URL for API requests is
https://api.housecallpro.com. - The node expects the user to configure the API authentication credentials within n8n before use.
Troubleshooting
Common issues:
- Authentication errors due to missing or invalid API keys.
- Network connectivity problems preventing access to the Housecall Pro API.
- Incorrect resource or operation selection leading to unexpected results.
Error messages:
- Unauthorized or 401 errors indicate invalid or missing API credentials.
- 404 errors may occur if the requested application data does not exist or the endpoint is incorrect.
- Timeout or network errors suggest connectivity issues.
Resolutions:
- Verify that the API key credential is correctly set up in n8n.
- Confirm internet connectivity and API endpoint availability.
- Ensure the correct resource ("Customer") and operation ("Get Application") are selected.
