Overview
This node interacts with the HideMail API to update the note associated with an existing email alias. It is useful when you want to add or modify descriptive information (a note) for an email alias you have created, helping you keep track of the purpose or context of each alias.
Practical example:
You have an email alias used for online shopping and want to update its note to "My shopping account" to easily identify it later in your HideMail dashboard.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Note | The new note text for the email alias. Maximum length is 255 characters. |
| The email alias address whose note you want to update (e.g., alias@hidemail.app). |
Output
The node outputs JSON data representing the updated email alias object returned by the HideMail API. This typically includes the alias details along with the updated note field. No binary data output is involved.
Dependencies
- Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the HideMail API.
- The node uses the base URL and authorization token from the provided credentials.
- The request is sent as a JSON body with
noteandemailfields.
Troubleshooting
- Invalid or missing API token: Ensure that the API key credential is correctly configured and has the necessary permissions.
- Email alias not found: Verify that the email alias specified exists in your HideMail account.
- Note too long: The note must be 255 characters or fewer; exceeding this limit may cause errors.
- Network issues: Check connectivity to the HideMail API endpoint and ensure the base URL is correct.
