Output shape

The raw JSON response from the Pennylane API, delivered as a single n8n item. No auto-splitting occurs, as this is a CREATE operation (not GET ALL).

Empty or whitespace-only optional fields are omitted from the request body. The API endpoint is POST /customers/companies when customerType is company, otherwise POST /customers/individuals. Credentials requiring apiToken and companyId must be configured.

Examples

Example 1: Create a company customer with SIRET and VAT number.

Set customerType to 'company', provide customerName and customerEmail, optionally fill customerSiret and customerVatNumber. The node sends a POST to /customers/companies with body { name, email, siret, vat_number } (omitting empty fields).

Example 2: Create an individual customer with first and last name.

Set customerType to 'individual', provide customerName, customerEmail, and optionally customerFirstName and customerLastName. The node sends a POST to /customers/individuals with body { name, email, first_name, last_name } (omitting empty fields).
