Wasapi

Overview

This node integrates with the Wasapi API, specifically providing functionality related to exporting contact data. The "Contact Export" operation allows users to export contact information and send it via email to specified addresses. This is useful in scenarios where you want to back up contact data, share contact lists with team members, or transfer contacts to other systems by receiving them through email.

For example, a marketing team could use this node to export a list of contacts and automatically send it to their CRM or analytics team via email for further processing.

Properties

The property accepts multiple email addresses as strings, allowing the user to specify recipients for the exported contact data.

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the result of the export operation. While the exact structure depends on the Wasapi API response, typically it would include confirmation details such as export status, any identifiers for the export job, and possibly metadata about the exported contacts.

If the node supports binary data output (not explicitly shown here), it would represent the exported contact file or data stream. However, based on the provided code and properties, the main output is JSON confirming the export action and its delivery to the specified emails.

Dependencies

• Requires an active connection to the Wasapi API.
• Needs an API authentication token configured in n8n credentials to authorize requests.
• The base URL for API requests is https://api-ws.wasapi.io/api/v1.
• No additional external dependencies are indicated beyond the Wasapi API and n8n's credential system.

Troubleshooting

• Common Issues:

  • Providing more than 5 email addresses may cause errors due to the limit.
  • Invalid email formats can lead to request failures.
  • Missing or incorrect API credentials will prevent successful communication with the Wasapi API.
  • Network issues or API downtime can cause timeouts or failed requests.

• Error Messages:

  • "Resource "contact" with operation "export" is not supported": This indicates that the node was called with unsupported resource-operation combinations. Ensure the resource is set to "Contact" and operation to "Export".
  • Authentication errors usually indicate invalid or missing API keys; verify credentials in n8n settings.
  • Validation errors related to email addresses suggest checking the format and count of emails provided.
