MissiveInstall

Overview

This node integrates with the Missive API to manage contacts, including creating, retrieving, updating, and deleting contacts. Specifically, the Delete Contact operation allows users to remove a contact from their Missive account by specifying the contact's unique ID.

Common scenarios for this node include:

• Automating contact management workflows where obsolete or incorrect contacts need to be removed.
• Integrating with other systems to synchronize contact deletions.
• Cleaning up contact lists based on external triggers or conditions.

Example use case:

• When a customer unsubscribes from a mailing list in another system, this node can delete their contact record in Missive automatically.

Properties

Output

The output JSON contains a simple confirmation object indicating success:

{
  "success": true
}

This confirms that the contact was successfully deleted. No additional data about the deleted contact is returned.

Dependencies

• Requires an API authentication token credential for the Missive API.
• The node makes HTTP DELETE requests to the Missive public API endpoint https://public.missiveapp.com/v1/contacts/{contactId}.
• Proper API credentials must be configured in n8n for authorization.

Troubleshooting

• Error: Unauthorized or invalid API token
  Ensure that the API token credential is correctly set up and has sufficient permissions to delete contacts.

• Error: Contact not found
  Verify that the provided Contact ID exists in the Missive account. Deleting a non-existent contact will fail.

• Network or connectivity issues
  Confirm that the n8n instance can reach the Missive API endpoint and that there are no firewall or proxy restrictions.

• Invalid Contact ID format
  Make sure the Contact ID is correctly specified as a string matching the expected format used by Missive.
