Overview

The "Create Coupon" operation in the Lectful Central node allows users to create a new coupon associated with a specific price ID in the Lectful Central system. This coupon can optionally pre-fill registration form fields such as email, first name, last name, and company, and can include additional metadata and an expiration date.

This node is beneficial for automating marketing or promotional workflows where coupons need to be generated dynamically and distributed to customers or prospects. For example, an e-commerce platform could use this node to generate discount coupons tied to specific product prices, pre-filling customer information to streamline the checkout process.

Output

The output of the node is a JSON object representing the response from the Lectful Central API after creating the coupon. This typically includes details about the newly created coupon such as its ID, associated price ID, any pre-filled data, metadata, expiration date, and status.

No binary data output is produced by this operation.

Example output structure (simplified):

{
  "id": 123,
  "price_id": 456,
  "email": "user@example.com",
  "firstname": "John",
  "lastname": "Doe",
  "company": "Example Inc.",
  "metadata": { "campaign": "spring_sale" },
  "expires_at": "2024-12-31T23:59:59Z",
  "status": "active",
  "token": "abc123xyz"
}

Dependencies

  • Requires access to the Lectful Central API.
  • Requires either stored credentials configured in n8n or manual entry of the base URL and API key.
  • The API key must have permissions to create coupons.
  • No additional external dependencies are required.

Troubleshooting

  • Missing or invalid credentials: If using stored credentials, ensure they are properly configured with a valid base URL and API key. If using manual mode, both Base URL Override and API Key Override must be provided.
  • Invalid JSON in Metadata: If the metadata field contains invalid JSON, the node will skip adding metadata but continue processing. Ensure that the JSON syntax is correct.
  • Expiration Date Validation: The expiration date must be a future date. Providing a past date may cause the API to reject the request.
  • Required Fields: The Price ID is mandatory. Omitting it will result in an error.
  • API Errors: Any errors returned by the Lectful Central API will be surfaced in the node's output. Check the error message for details.
