Get Vehicles Node
The Get Vehicles node retrieves vehicle policy information for a customer based on their customer number. This non-visual node queries the service in the background and returns vehicle details including registration number, model, year, and coverage information for use by subsequent nodes in the flow.
To display vehicle information to the user, use the Show Vehicle node after retrieving the data with the Get Vehicles node.
Use Case
Use the Get Vehicles node when you want to:
- Retrieve all active vehicle policies for a customer based on their customer number.
- Populate vehicle data for use in subsequent nodes (e.g., displaying available vehicles, filtering by coverage, or processing vehicle-specific claims).
- Query vehicle details like registration number, model, year, and coverage information in the background.
Don't use it when:
- You need to retrieve vehicles based on criteria other than customer number.
- You need to filter or aggregate vehicle data beyond what this node provides.
