Overview

This node interacts with the Everest Transport Management System (TMS) to retrieve multiple contact records based on specified criteria. It is useful for scenarios where you need to fetch a list of contacts, such as for bulk processing, reporting, or integration with other systems. For example, you can use it to get a paginated list of contacts filtered by a search term.

Use Case Examples

1. Retrieve up to 50 contacts starting from the first record.
2. Fetch contacts matching a specific search term with pagination support.

Properties

Output

JSON

• id - Unique identifier of the contact.
• first_name - First name of the contact.
• last_name - Last name of the contact.
• email - Email address of the contact.
• phone - Phone number of the contact.
• other_contact_fields - Additional contact details as provided by the Everest TMS API.

Dependencies

• Requires an API key credential for Everest TMS to authenticate requests.

Troubleshooting

• Common issues include authentication failures due to invalid or missing API credentials. Ensure the Everest API key is correctly configured.
• Pagination parameters (Limit and Limit Start) must be valid numbers; otherwise, the node may return errors or unexpected results.
• If the search term is too broad or empty, the node may return a large number of contacts, which could impact performance.
