Overview
This node integrates with the SmartLead API to manage email marketing campaigns. Specifically, the Create Campaign operation allows users to create a new email campaign by specifying its name and optional additional settings. This is useful for marketers or automation specialists who want to programmatically launch new email campaigns within their workflow automation.
Typical use cases include:
- Automatically creating campaigns based on triggers such as form submissions or CRM updates.
- Setting up campaigns dynamically with specific statuses or limits.
- Integrating campaign creation into larger marketing automation sequences.
For example, you could use this node to create a new campaign named "Spring Sale 2024" whenever a new product line is added to your inventory system.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Campaign Name | The name of the new campaign to be created (required). |
| Additional Fields | Optional extra parameters: • Limit: Number of results to return (default 100) • Offset: Number of results to skip (default 0) • Status: Campaign status, options are Active, Paused, or Stopped (default Active) |
Output
The node outputs JSON data representing the response from the SmartLead API after creating the campaign. The output typically includes details about the newly created campaign such as its ID, name, status, and other metadata returned by the API.
If the API returns multiple items or nested data, the node flattens it into an array of JSON objects for further processing in n8n workflows.
No binary data output is produced by this operation.
