Consume Shopware Admin API

Actions10

Overview

This node integrates with the Shopware Admin API to manage various resources such as orders, products, and customers. Specifically, for the Customer - Create operation, it allows users to create a new customer record in the Shopware system by providing customer details like email, first name, and last name.

Common scenarios where this node is beneficial include:

  • Automating customer onboarding workflows by creating customer profiles when new signups occur.
  • Synchronizing customer data from external systems into Shopware.
  • Bulk importing customer information into Shopware via n8n workflows.

Example: When a new user registers on a website, this node can be used to automatically create a corresponding customer entry in Shopware with their email and name details.

Properties

Customer Data Collection of fields to define the new customer:
- Email: Email address of the customer
- First Name: Customer's first name

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the response from the Shopware Admin API after creating the customer. This typically includes the newly created customer's details such as their unique ID and any other metadata returned by the API.

If an error occurs during creation, the output will contain an error message describing the issue.

The node does not output binary data.

Dependencies

  • Requires connection to the Shopware Admin API.
  • Needs an API authentication credential configured in n8n (an API key or token) to authorize requests.
  • The API base URL is taken from the configured credentials.

Troubleshooting

  • Common issues:

    • Missing or invalid API credentials will cause authentication failures.
    • Providing incomplete or invalid customer data (e.g., missing required email) may result in API errors.
    • Network connectivity problems can prevent successful API calls.

  • Error messages:

    • Errors returned from the Shopware API are passed through; typical messages might indicate validation failures or authorization errors.
    • If the node throws a generic "Unknown error," verify that all required fields are correctly set and the API endpoint is reachable.

  • Resolution tips:

    • Ensure the API credentials are correctly configured and have sufficient permissions.
    • Validate input data before running the node.
    • Use the "Continue On Fail" option in n8n to handle errors gracefully within workflows.
