Automated SAP API Login Workflow
detail.loadingPreview
This n8n workflow provides a reliable method to automate the login process for an SAP API, retrieving a crucial session ID for subsequent operations. It intelligently handles both successful authentications and potential login failures, providing clear feedback.
About This Workflow
This n8n workflow serves as a foundational component for any SAP integration, streamlining the often-complex API authentication process. It leverages the HTTP Request node to send dynamic login credentials (SAP URL, username, password, and company database) to your SAP system's API endpoint. A key feature is its robust error handling: successful logins proceed to extract the SessionId, while any authentication failures are gracefully captured, providing the statusCode and errorMessage for quick troubleshooting. This ensures your downstream SAP operations always start with a verified and active session, making it an indispensable tool for reliable and automated SAP interactions.
