Overview
This node interacts with the Inbox API of a chat or messaging platform to retrieve detailed information about a specific inbox. It is useful when you need to fetch metadata or configuration details of an inbox channel identified by a unique identifier. For example, it can be used to display inbox properties in a dashboard, audit inbox settings, or integrate inbox details into other workflows.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Inbox Identifier | The unique identifier of the inbox channel obtained from the API. This is required to specify which inbox's details to retrieve. |
Output
The node outputs JSON data containing the detailed information of the specified inbox. This typically includes all relevant metadata and configuration fields returned by the Inbox API for that particular inbox identifier. The exact structure depends on the API response but generally provides comprehensive inbox details.
No binary data output is expected from this operation.
Dependencies
- Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the ChatWoot API.
- The base URL for the API must be configured in the node credentials.
- The node uses standard HTTP headers for JSON content negotiation.
Troubleshooting
Common issues:
- Invalid or missing inbox identifier will cause the API call to fail.
- Incorrect or expired API credentials will result in authentication errors.
- Network connectivity problems may prevent successful API requests.
Error messages:
- "Inbox identifier is required" — Ensure the inbox identifier property is set.
- "Authentication failed" — Verify the API key and base URL credentials.
- "Resource not found" — Confirm the inbox identifier exists and is correct.
Resolving these usually involves verifying input parameters and credential configurations.
