Overview
This node interacts with the Instantly API to manage campaigns. Specifically, the "Get" operation for the "Campaign" resource retrieves detailed information about a single campaign by its unique ID.
Common scenarios where this node is useful include:
- Fetching campaign details to monitor or report on campaign status.
- Integrating campaign data into workflows for further processing or decision-making.
- Validating campaign existence before performing updates or deletions.
For example, you might use this node to get the current settings and statistics of a marketing campaign before sending follow-up emails or generating analytics reports.

Dependencies
- Requires an active Instantly API key credential configured in n8n to authenticate requests.
- Depends on the Instantly API being accessible and responsive.
- Uses a helper function (
instantlyApiRequest) to make HTTP requests to the Instantly API endpoints.
Troubleshooting
Common issues:
- Invalid or missing Campaign ID will cause the API request to fail.
- Network connectivity problems can prevent successful API calls.
- Expired or incorrect API credentials will result in authentication errors.
Error messages:
- Errors from the Instantly API (e.g., "Campaign not found") indicate that the specified Campaign ID does not exist or is inaccessible.
- Authentication errors suggest checking the API key credential configuration.
- Rate limiting or server errors from the API may require retrying after some time.
To resolve these issues:
- Verify the Campaign ID is correct and exists in your Instantly account.
- Ensure the API key credential is valid and has necessary permissions.
- Check network connectivity and Instantly service status.
