Overview
This node integrates with the BizMail API to manage email marketing workflows. Specifically, for the Autoresponder - Create Subscriber operation, it allows users to add new subscribers to an autoresponder campaign in BizMail. This is useful for automating subscriber management, such as adding contacts who sign up via a form or other trigger into an autoresponder sequence that sends automated emails.
Practical examples include:
- Automatically subscribing new leads collected from a website form to a welcome email series.
- Adding customers to a drip campaign after a purchase.
- Syncing contacts from other systems into an autoresponder list for targeted messaging.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Autoresponder Name or ID | Select the target autoresponder campaign by name or ID where the subscriber will be added. |
| Merge Fields | Key-value pairs representing subscriber data fields to set when creating the subscriber. These fields correspond to merge tags defined in BizMail (e.g., email, first name). Multiple fields can be specified. |
The "Merge Fields" property supports multiple entries, each requiring:
- Field Name or ID: The merge field key or identifier.
- Value: The value to assign to that field for the subscriber.
Output
The node outputs JSON data representing the response from the BizMail API after attempting to create the subscriber. The structure typically includes success status and any relevant data returned by the API about the created subscriber.
If an error occurs and the node is configured to continue on failure, the output will contain an error field with the error message.
No binary data output is produced by this operation.
Dependencies
- Requires an API key credential for BizMail with appropriate permissions.
- Needs network access to BizMail's API endpoints.
- The node uses HTTP POST requests to BizMail API paths like
/api/customer/autoresponder/import. - The user must configure the node with valid credentials containing the base URL, app key, and project token for authentication.
Troubleshooting
- Missing required fields: If the "email" field is not provided in the merge fields, the node may throw an error or fail silently depending on configuration. Always ensure the subscriber's email is included.
- Invalid Autoresponder UUID: Selecting or specifying an invalid autoresponder ID will cause the API call to fail. Verify the ID exists and is accessible.
- API Authentication errors: Incorrect or expired API credentials will result in authentication failures. Check and update credentials if needed.
- Network issues: Connectivity problems to the BizMail API endpoint will cause request failures.
- Continue on Fail behavior: If enabled, errors will be returned in the output JSON instead of stopping execution, allowing partial processing of multiple items.
