Interact with Instantly API

Overview

This node integrates with the Instantly API to manage accounts, campaigns, and leads. Specifically for the Account - Get operation, it retrieves detailed information about a single account by its email address. This is useful in scenarios where you need to fetch user or customer account details programmatically within an automation workflow.

Practical examples:

  • Automatically retrieving account details when a new support ticket is created.
  • Validating if an account exists before performing further actions like updates or deletions.
  • Fetching account data to synchronize with other systems such as CRMs or marketing platforms.

Output

The node outputs a JSON object representing the account details retrieved from the Instantly API. The structure corresponds to the account resource's fields as returned by the API, typically including properties such as email, full name, status, creation date, and any other metadata associated with the account.

No binary data output is produced by this operation.

Dependencies

  • Requires an active Instantly API credential configured in n8n to authenticate requests.
  • Depends on the instantlyApiRequest helper function to make HTTP calls to the Instantly API endpoints.
  • The node expects network access to Instantly's API service.

Troubleshooting

  • Common issues:

    • Providing an invalid or non-existent email will likely result in an error or empty response.
    • Missing or incorrect API credentials will cause authentication failures.
    • Network connectivity problems can prevent successful API calls.

  • Error messages and resolutions:

    • "Unauthorized" or "Authentication failed": Verify that the API key credential is correctly set up and has proper permissions.
    • "Account not found": Confirm the email address is correct and that the account exists in Instantly.
    • Timeouts or network errors: Check internet connection and firewall settings allowing outbound requests to Instantly API.
