For the Messages resource, the node supports multiple operations including retrieving messages, sending messages, replying, marking as read/unread, deleting messages, and more.
The Delete Message operation enables users to delete a specific message by its ID. This is useful in scenarios where you want to programmatically manage your inbox or clean up messages automatically based on certain criteria.
Practical example:
You could use this node to automate the deletion of old or unwanted messages from your Xing account, helping maintain an organized messaging environment without manual intervention.

Output
The output of the Delete Message operation is a JSON object representing the response from the Xing API after attempting to delete the specified message. Typically, this will confirm whether the deletion was successful or provide details if it failed.
The node does not output binary data for this operation.
Dependencies
- Requires an API key credential and OAuth2 authentication configured in n8n to access the Xing API.
- The node depends on the external Xing API service at
https://api.xing.com. - Proper permissions/scopes must be granted to the API credentials to allow message deletion.
Troubleshooting
Common issues:
- Invalid or missing Message ID: Ensure the Message ID provided is correct and corresponds to an existing message.
- Insufficient permissions: The API credentials used must have rights to delete messages.
- Network or API errors: Temporary connectivity issues or API rate limits may cause failures.
Error messages:
"Unknown operation: deleteMessage": Indicates the operation name might be misspelled or unsupported; verify the operation parameter.- API error responses typically include descriptive messages; check the returned JSON error field for details.
- If the node throws an error about authentication, verify that the API key and OAuth2 credentials are correctly set up.
