Overview
This node integrates with the Outseta CRM API to manage accounts within your CRM system. Specifically, the "Get" operation for the "Account" resource retrieves detailed information about a single account using its unique identifier (UID). This is useful when you need to fetch up-to-date account data for reporting, automation workflows, or syncing with other systems.
Practical examples:
- Retrieve an account's details before updating related records in another system.
- Fetch account information to personalize communications or trigger conditional logic based on account attributes.
- Use the account data as part of a customer support workflow to display relevant account info.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Account UID | The unique identifier of the account to retrieve. This is required to specify which account to get. |
Output
The node outputs the JSON response from the Outseta CRM API representing the requested account. This JSON typically includes all available fields and metadata for that account, such as name, stage, associated contacts, and other custom properties defined in Outseta.
No binary data output is involved in this operation.
Dependencies
- Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the Outseta CRM API.
- The node expects the domain URL of your Outseta instance to be configured in the credentials.
- Network access to the Outseta API endpoint (
https://<your-domain>/api/v1) is necessary.
Troubleshooting
Common issues:
- Invalid or missing Account UID will cause the request to fail; ensure the UID is correct and provided.
- Authentication errors if the API key or domain is misconfigured.
- Network connectivity problems can prevent reaching the Outseta API.
Error messages:
- 404 Not Found: The specified Account UID does not exist. Verify the UID.
- 401 Unauthorized: Authentication failed. Check API key and domain configuration.
- 400 Bad Request: Possibly malformed request parameters; ensure the UID is correctly formatted.
Resolving these usually involves verifying input parameters, checking credential setup, and ensuring network connectivity.
