Overview

This node operation fetches multiple contact records from the mfr Field Service Management system. It supports retrieving a limited number of contacts or fetching all contacts based on the user's choice. Users can apply filters, expand related fields such as Company or User, and set a limit on the number of contacts returned. This operation is useful for scenarios where you need to list or process multiple contacts, such as syncing contact lists, generating reports, or integrating contact data with other systems.

Use Case Examples

1. Fetch all contacts without limit to synchronize with a CRM system.
2. Retrieve a filtered list of contacts belonging to a specific company or user.
3. Get a limited number of contacts for display in a dashboard or report.

Properties

Output

JSON

• id - Unique identifier of the contact.
• email - Email address of the contact.
• otherContactFields - Other contact-related fields returned by the API, depending on the query parameters and expansions.

Dependencies

• Requires an API key credential for authentication to the mfr Field Service Management API.

Troubleshooting

• Common issues include API authentication failures due to invalid or missing credentials. Ensure the API key credential is correctly configured.
• Incorrect filter syntax in the Additional Fields can cause API errors. Verify filter expressions follow OData conventions.
• Fetching all results may lead to long execution times or timeouts if the contact list is very large. Consider using limits or filters to reduce data volume.
