Overview

This node interacts with the Asterisk PBX system via the Asterisk REST Interface (ARI). Specifically, the 'Mailboxes - List' operation allows users to retrieve a list of voicemail mailboxes managed by the Asterisk system. This is useful for administrators or systems that need to monitor or manage voicemail mailboxes programmatically.

Use Case Examples

1. An administrator wants to fetch all voicemail mailboxes to display their status in a dashboard.
2. A system integrates with Asterisk to automate mailbox management and needs to list existing mailboxes before performing actions.

Output

JSON

• mailboxes - An array of voicemail mailboxes retrieved from the Asterisk system, each containing details about individual mailboxes

Dependencies

• Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the Asterisk REST Interface (ARI)

Troubleshooting

• Ensure the Asterisk API credentials are correctly configured and have the necessary permissions to access mailbox information.
• Verify the base URL for the Asterisk ARI is correct and accessible from the n8n environment.
• Common errors include authentication failures and network connectivity issues; check credentials and network settings if these occur.
