Overview
The LoneScale List node for n8n allows users to create new lists within the LoneScale platform. This is particularly useful for organizing contacts or companies into separate groups for further processing, enrichment, or outreach. For example, you might use this node to automatically generate a new list of leads from a marketing campaign or to segment companies by industry.
Practical Examples
- Automatically create a "New Leads" list every week and populate it with incoming contacts.
- Segment companies into different lists based on their size or location for targeted sales efforts.
Properties
| Name | Type | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Name | String | The name of your new list. This will be used to identify the list in LoneScale. (Required) |
| Type | Options | The type of list to create: either "Company" (for company lists) or "Contact" (for contact lists). (Required) |
Output
The node returns the response from the LoneScale API after creating the list. The output structure typically includes:
{
"id": "string", // Unique identifier of the created list
"name": "string", // Name of the created list
"entity": "COMPANY" | "PEOPLE", // Type of the list
... // Other metadata as provided by the API
}
- The exact fields may vary depending on the LoneScale API response, but at minimum, you can expect an
id,name, andentityfield.
