Contact → Get All

AI-generated

Overview

This node integrates with Zoho Books to retrieve contact records. Specifically, the "Get All" operation under the "Contact" resource fetches multiple contacts from Zoho Books. It supports pagination and filtering by update date, allowing users to either retrieve all contacts or limit results per page.

Common scenarios where this node is useful include:

  • Synchronizing contact lists between Zoho Books and other systems.
  • Extracting updated contacts for reporting or CRM enrichment.
  • Automating workflows that require bulk access to contact data.

For example, a user might configure this node to fetch all contacts updated after a certain date to keep their external database in sync with Zoho Books.

Properties

Name Meaning
Return All Whether to return all contacts or only up to a specified limit.
Page The page number to retrieve when not returning all results (pagination).
Per Page Number of contacts to return per page (maximum 200) when not returning all.
Updated After Filter to only include contacts updated after this date (format: YYYY-MM-DD).

Output

The output is an array of JSON objects representing individual contacts retrieved from Zoho Books. Each item corresponds to one contact record with its full details as provided by the Zoho Books API.

  • The json field contains the contact data.
  • The output pairs each returned contact with the input item it originated from (if applicable).
  • This node does not output binary data.

Dependencies

  • Requires an active Zoho Books API authentication credential configured in n8n.
  • Uses Zoho Books API endpoints to fetch contact data.
  • No additional external dependencies beyond the Zoho Books API and n8n environment.

Troubleshooting

  • Unsupported Resource Error: If the node throws an error about an unsupported resource, ensure the "Resource" parameter is set to "Contact" and the operation to "Get All".
  • API Rate Limits: Zoho Books enforces rate limits; if you encounter rate limit errors, consider enabling retry logic or reducing request frequency.
  • Pagination Issues: When not using "Return All", ensure "Page" and "Per Page" values are within valid ranges (Page ≥ 1, Per Page ≤ 200).
  • Date Format Errors: The "Updated After" filter requires the date in YYYY-MM-DD format. Invalid formats may cause API errors.
  • Authentication Failures: Verify that the Zoho Books API credentials are correctly configured and have sufficient permissions.
