Overview

This node is designed to interact with a Contacts resource, specifically to perform the 'Get About' operation. It retrieves detailed information about a specific contact using a session identifier and the contact's unique ID. This node is useful in scenarios where you need to fetch metadata or profile details about a contact in an automated workflow, such as in customer relationship management or messaging applications.

Use Case Examples

  1. Fetching profile details of a contact in a messaging app to display user information.
  2. Retrieving contact metadata for use in automated customer support workflows.

Properties

Name Meaning
Session The session identifier used to authenticate and authorize the request for contact information.
Contact Id The unique identifier of the contact whose information is being retrieved.
Request Options Additional options to customize the request such as batching, SSL certificate validation, proxy settings, and timeout duration.

Output

JSON

  • contactInfo - The detailed information about the contact retrieved from the operation.

Dependencies

  • Requires an active session identifier for authentication.

Troubleshooting

  • Ensure the session ID is valid and active; invalid sessions will cause authentication failures.
  • Verify the contact ID is correct and exists; incorrect IDs will result in no data or errors.
  • If SSL issues occur, consider enabling the 'Ignore SSL Issues' option, but be aware of security risks.
  • Check proxy settings if requests fail due to network restrictions or firewall rules.
  • Adjust timeout settings if the server response is slow to avoid premature request termination.
