- **5 Services**
- **43 Modules**

## 🔧 Configuration Required

### Environment Variables

Add to `.env`:
```env
# n8n Webhook Configuration
N8N_WEBHOOK_URL=http://localhost:5678
N8N_WEBHOOK_ID=04e677f5-ec57-4772-bf12-96f2610d4b9c

# OAuth Credentials (Already exist)
ZOHO_CLIENT_ID=xxx
ZOHO_CLIENT_SECRET=xxx
SALESFORCE_CLIENT_ID=xxx
SALESFORCE_CLIENT_SECRET=xxx
```

### n8n Workflow

**File**: `My_workflow_3 (1).json`
**Webhook ID**: `04e677f5-ec57-4772-bf12-96f2610d4b9c`

**Import Steps:**
1. Open n8n instance
2. Import JSON workflow
3. Activate workflow
4. Verify webhook is active

## 📊 Code Statistics

```
Total Files Created:    10
Total Lines of Code:    ~1500
Controllers:            4 functions
Service Methods:        7 methods
API Endpoints:          4 routes
Documentation Pages:    5 files
```

## 🚀 Usage Flow

### Step 1: User Authentication (One-time)

```http
GET /api/v1/users/oauth/callback?
    authorization_code=ABC123&
    user_uuid=user-uuid&
    service_name=zoho
```

**Result:** Tokens stored in `user_auth_tokens` table with `instance_url` (for Salesforce).

### Step 2: Data Fetching (Anytime)

```http
GET /api/v1/n8n/zoho/crm/leads?limit=100
Authorization: Bearer <jwt>
```

**Behind the scenes:**
1. Backend validates JWT → gets user UUID
2. `N8nHandler` retrieves & decrypts user's Zoho token
3. `N8nClient` calls n8n webhook with token
4. n8n workflow routes to Zoho CRM → Leads endpoint
5. Data returned to user

### Step 3: Response

```json
{
  "status": "success",
  "message": "zoho crm leads data fetched successfully",
  "data": {
    "success": true,
    "data": [...],
    "count": 10,
    "metadata": {}
  },
  "timestamp": "2025-10-09T12:00:00.000Z"
}
```

## 🎨 Architecture Highlights

### Design Patterns

1. **Facade Pattern**
   - `N8nService` provides simple interface hiding complexity

2. **Strategy Pattern**
   - Different fetching strategies per provider

3. **Factory Pattern**
   - `N8nHandler` creates appropriate clients

4. **Repository Pattern**
   - Token management via repositories

### Key Principles

- ✅ **Separation of Concerns**: Clear layer separation
- ✅ **DRY**: Reusable components
- ✅ **SOLID**: Single responsibility per class
- ✅ **Security First**: Encrypted tokens, JWT auth
- ✅ **Error Handling**: Comprehensive try-catch blocks
- ✅ **Logging**: All operations logged

## 🔐 Security Features

1. **JWT Authentication**: All endpoints require valid JWT
2. **Token Encryption**: Access tokens encrypted in database
3. **Rate Limiting**: Applied via express-rate-limit
4. **Validation**: Input sanitization with Joi
5. **No Token Leakage**: Tokens never in logs or responses
6. **Module Validation**: Only supported modules allowed

## 📈 Performance Considerations

- **Timeout**: 60 seconds for n8n webhook calls
- **Default Limit**: 200 records per request
- **Max Limit**: 1000 records per request
- **Pagination**: Built-in support
- **Caching**: Can be added at service layer
- **Parallel Requests**: Support for Promise.all()

## 🧪 Testing Recommendations

### Manual Testing Checklist

- [ ] User can authenticate with Zoho
- [ ] User can authenticate with Salesforce
- [ ] Fetch Zoho CRM leads
- [ ] Fetch Zoho Books invoices
- [ ] Fetch Zoho People employees
- [ ] Fetch Salesforce accounts
- [ ] Pagination works correctly
- [ ] Error handling for invalid modules
- [ ] Error handling for missing authentication
- [ ] Rate limiting works

### Integration Tests

```javascript
describe('n8n Integration', () => {
  test('GET /api/v1/n8n/providers', async () => {
    // Test getting supported providers
  });

  test('GET /api/v1/n8n/zoho/crm/leads', async () => {
    // Test Zoho data fetching
  });

  test('GET /api/v1/n8n/salesforce/crm/accounts', async () => {
    // Test Salesforce data fetching
  });
});
```

## 🐛 Known Limitations

1. **Workflow Dependency**: Backend depends on n8n being online
2. **Timeout**: Hard 60-second timeout (configurable)
3. **Some Modules Disabled**: In n8n workflow (can be enabled)
4. **No Caching**: Raw data returned (can be added)
5. **No Bulk Operations**: Single requests only

## 🔮 Future Enhancements

### Phase 1 (Easy)
- [ ] Add caching layer (Redis)
- [ ] Enable disabled modules in n8n
- [ ] Add request retry logic
- [ ] Implement bulk fetch operations

### Phase 2 (Medium)
- [ ] Add QuickBooks/Intuit support
- [ ] Add HubSpot support
- [ ] Add BambooHR support
- [ ] WebSocket support for real-time data

### Phase 3 (Advanced)
- [ ] Data sync scheduling
- [ ] Webhook notifications from providers
- [ ] Data transformation pipelines
- [ ] Advanced filtering & search

## 📦 Dependencies

- `express` - Already installed
- `joi` - Already installed

### Existing Dependencies Used:
