BookedInInstall

Overview

This node integrates with the BookedIn API to manage various marketing and sales resources such as agents, leads, lists, strategies, campaigns, and human messaging. Specifically, for the List resource with the Get operation, it retrieves detailed information about a specific list by its ID.

Common scenarios where this node is beneficial include:

• Fetching details of a particular lead list to analyze or process it further.
• Integrating list data into workflows for segmentation, reporting, or campaign targeting.
• Automating retrieval of list metadata in CRM or marketing automation pipelines.

Practical example:

• You have a list of prospects identified by a unique List ID, and you want to fetch the list's details (like name, creation date, or other metadata) to use in subsequent workflow steps such as sending targeted messages or updating records.

Properties

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the retrieved list object from the BookedIn API. This typically includes fields such as the list's ID, name, creation date, and possibly other metadata associated with the list.

No binary data output is produced by this operation.

Example output structure (simplified):

{
  "id": "li_abcdef123456",
  "name": "Q4 Prospecting List",
  "created_at": "2024-01-01T12:00:00Z",
  "updated_at": "2024-02-01T12:00:00Z",
  // ... other list-specific fields
}

Dependencies

• Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the BookedIn API.
• The node uses HTTP requests to communicate with the BookedIn REST API endpoints.
• No additional environment variables are explicitly required beyond the API authentication setup.

Troubleshooting

• Invalid List ID: If the provided List ID does not exist or is malformed, the API will likely return an error. Ensure the List ID is correct and follows the expected format.
• Authentication Errors: Missing or invalid API credentials will cause authentication failures. Verify that the API key credential is correctly configured in n8n.
• Network Issues: Connectivity problems can cause request timeouts or failures. Check network access to the BookedIn API endpoint.
• API Rate Limits: Excessive requests may be throttled by the API. Implement appropriate retry or backoff logic if needed.
• Unexpected API Response: If the API changes or returns unexpected data, the node might fail to parse the response correctly.
