Interact with HideMail API - Create and manage email aliases

Actions7

Overview

This node integrates with the HideMail API to create and manage email aliases. Specifically, the "Create A New Email Alias" operation allows users to generate a new email alias with a custom description. This is useful for scenarios where users want to protect their real email address by using disposable or masked aliases when signing up for services, managing newsletters, or tracking sources of incoming emails.

Practical examples include:

  • Creating a unique alias for each online service to identify potential spam sources.
  • Generating temporary email addresses for one-time registrations.
  • Managing multiple aliases under a single account for better email organization.

Properties

Name Meaning
Description Note or label for the new alias. Default is "My new alias".

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the newly created email alias. This typically includes details such as the alias address, its description, creation timestamp, and possibly status or usage statistics depending on the API response.

No binary data output is indicated.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the HideMail API.
  • The base URL for the API must be configured in the node credentials.
  • The node sends requests with Accept: application/json and Content-Type: application/json headers, including an Authorization bearer token.

Troubleshooting

  • Authentication errors: Ensure that the API token and base URL are correctly set in the node credentials.
  • Invalid input: The description should be a string; invalid types may cause request failures.
  • API connectivity issues: Verify network access to the HideMail API endpoint.
  • Unexpected API responses: Check if the API has changed or if rate limits have been exceeded.
