Mailgroup

Interact with a mailgroup instance

Overview

The node named "Mailgroup" allows interaction with a mailgroup instance via its API. Specifically, the "Subscriber" resource with the "Get" operation enables users to retrieve subscriber data from the mailgroup system. This is useful for scenarios where you want to fetch lists of subscribers, perhaps for reporting, synchronization, or further processing in an automation workflow.

For example, you might use this node to:

  • Retrieve a paginated list of subscribers to analyze user engagement.
  • Export subscriber data to another system.
  • Monitor subscriber counts and details dynamically.

Properties

Name Meaning
Page The page number to query on (pagination).
Per Page The number of elements per page to retrieve.

These properties control pagination when fetching subscribers, allowing you to specify which page of results to retrieve and how many subscribers per page.

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the subscriber information retrieved from the mailgroup API. The structure typically includes subscriber details such as email addresses, subscription status, and other metadata as provided by the API.

If the node supports binary data output, it would represent attachments or files related to subscribers, but based on the provided code and context, the primary output is JSON data containing subscriber records.

Dependencies

  • Requires connection to a mailgroup API instance.
  • Needs credentials including domain URL, username, and password for authentication.
  • The base URL for API requests is constructed from the provided domain credential.
  • The node expects the API to respond with JSON data.

Troubleshooting

  • Authentication errors: Ensure that the domain, username, and password credentials are correctly set and valid.
  • Pagination issues: If no data is returned, verify that the "Page" and "Per Page" values correspond to existing pages in the subscriber list.
  • API connectivity: Confirm that the mailgroup API endpoint is reachable and not blocked by firewalls or network restrictions.
  • Invalid responses: If the API returns unexpected data or errors, check the API version compatibility and request parameters.
