Overview
This node integrates with the Advbox API to retrieve customer birthday information. Specifically, the "Get Birthdays" operation fetches a list of customers who have upcoming or recent birthdays. This can be useful for marketing campaigns, customer engagement, or sending personalized greetings.
Practical examples:
- Automatically generate a list of customers with birthdays in the current month to send promotional offers.
- Use the birthday data to trigger email workflows wishing customers a happy birthday.
- Analyze customer birthdate trends for business insights.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Additional Fields | Optional parameters to customize the request: |
| - Limit | Maximum number of birthday records to return (default 50). |
| - Offset | Number of records to skip before starting to return results (default 0). |
Output
The node outputs an array of JSON objects representing customers' birthday data. Each object corresponds to a customer and includes relevant fields as returned by the Advbox API's /customers/birthdays endpoint.
The output does not include binary data; it is purely JSON-formatted customer information.
Dependencies
- Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the Advbox API.
- The node expects the Advbox API URL and token to be configured in the credentials.
- No additional external dependencies beyond the Advbox API.
Troubleshooting
- Missing or invalid API token: The node throws an error if the API token is missing or empty. Ensure that the API key credential is correctly set up.
- Invalid API URL: If the API base URL is not provided or malformed, the node will error out. Verify the API URL in the credentials.
- API request errors: Network issues or incorrect parameters may cause HTTP errors. The node logs the status code and response body on failure to help diagnose issues.
- Limit and offset values: Providing negative or non-numeric values for limit or offset may cause unexpected behavior. Use valid positive integers.
