EmailConnect

Interact with EmailConnect API for email automation

Actions12

Overview

This node interacts with the EmailConnect API to manage email aliases associated with a domain. Specifically, the "Alias - Get Many" operation retrieves multiple email aliases for a specified domain. This is useful in scenarios where you want to list or process all email forwarding aliases configured under a particular domain, such as for auditing, reporting, or bulk management.

For example, you might use this node to fetch all aliases of your company’s domain to verify their destinations or to synchronize alias data with another system.

Properties

Name Meaning
Domain Name or ID Select the domain from which to retrieve aliases. You can choose from a dropdown list of domains or specify an ID using an expression.

Output

The output is an array of JSON objects, each representing an alias associated with the specified domain. Each object contains the alias details as returned by the EmailConnect API, typically including fields like alias ID, email address, destination email, and other metadata related to the alias.

Example output structure (simplified):

[
  {
    "id": "alias-id-1",
    "email": "support@example.com",
    "destinationEmail": "user1@external.com",
    ...
  },
  {
    "id": "alias-id-2",
    "email": "info@example.com",
    "destinationEmail": "user2@external.com",
    ...
  }
]

No binary data is output by this operation.

Dependencies

  • Requires an active connection to the EmailConnect API.
  • Requires an API authentication credential configured in n8n to authorize requests.
  • The node uses internal methods to load available domains dynamically for selection.

Troubleshooting

  • Common issues:

    • If no aliases are returned, ensure that the selected domain actually has aliases configured.
    • Network or authentication errors may occur if the API key credential is missing, invalid, or expired.
    • Selecting a domain ID that does not exist or is inaccessible will result in errors.

  • Error messages:

    • "Unauthorized" or similar indicates problems with API credentials; verify and update the API key.
    • "Not Found" errors suggest the domain ID is incorrect or the resource does not exist.
    • "Unknown error occurred" may appear if the API request fails unexpectedly; check network connectivity and API status.
