mittwald

Overview

This node interacts with the "Mail" resource of the mittwald mStudio API, specifically allowing users to delete a delivery box by its ID. It is useful in scenarios where you need to programmatically manage mail delivery boxes, such as cleaning up unused or obsolete delivery boxes in an automated workflow.

For example, if you have a system that creates delivery boxes dynamically and you want to ensure that old or unused boxes are removed automatically, this node can be used to delete those boxes by specifying their unique IDs.

Properties

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the result of the delete operation. Typically, this would include confirmation of deletion or any relevant status messages returned by the API. There is no indication that binary data is output by this node.

Dependencies

• Requires an API key credential for authentication with the mittwald mStudio API.
• The node uses the base URL https://api.mittwald.de and expects JSON content-type headers.
• No additional external dependencies beyond the API and n8n's HTTP request capabilities.

Troubleshooting

• Common issues:
  • Providing an invalid or non-existent Delivery Box Id will likely result in an error from the API indicating that the resource was not found.
  • Missing or incorrect API credentials will cause authentication failures.
• Error messages:
  • Errors related to authorization typically mean the API key is missing, expired, or lacks necessary permissions.
  • Errors about the delivery box not found indicate the specified ID does not exist; verify the ID before attempting deletion.
• Resolution:
  • Ensure the Delivery Box Id is correct and exists.
  • Verify that the API key credential is properly configured and has sufficient rights.
  • Check network connectivity and API endpoint availability.
