Overview
This node integrates with the Nimba SMS API to manage SMS messages, contacts, groups, account information, purchases, and sender names. Specifically, for the Message - Get operation, it retrieves detailed information about a single SMS message by its unique ID.
Common scenarios where this node is beneficial include:
- Fetching the status or content of a previously sent SMS.
- Retrieving delivery reports or metadata related to a specific message.
- Auditing or logging message details in workflows.
Practical example:
- After sending an SMS, use this node to get the message details such as delivery status or timestamps to update your CRM or notify users.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Message ID | The unique identifier of the SMS message to retrieve. This is required to fetch the specific message details from the Nimba SMS service. |
Output
The output is a JSON object representing the detailed data of the requested SMS message. It typically includes fields such as message content, recipient phone number, sender name, status, timestamps, and other metadata returned by the Nimba SMS API.
No binary data output is produced by this operation.
Dependencies
- Requires an active connection to the Nimba SMS API via an API key credential configured in n8n.
- The node uses internal helper functions to make authenticated HTTP requests to the Nimba SMS REST endpoints.
- No additional external dependencies beyond the configured API credentials are needed.
Troubleshooting
- Invalid Message ID: If the provided Message ID does not exist or is malformed, the API will likely return an error. Ensure the ID is correct and corresponds to a message in your account.
- API Authentication Errors: Missing or invalid API credentials will cause authentication failures. Verify that the API key credential is correctly set up in n8n.
- Network Issues: Connectivity problems can prevent the node from reaching the Nimba SMS API. Check network access and proxy settings if applicable.
- Rate Limits: Excessive requests may trigger rate limiting on the API side. Implement retry logic or reduce request frequency if errors occur.
