Overview

The Piloterr node for n8n, when configured with the "Enrichment" resource and the "Email Pattern" operation, allows users to look up the typical email address pattern used by a company based on its domain. This is useful in scenarios such as:

  • Automating lead generation workflows by predicting possible email addresses for contacts at a given company.
  • Enriching CRM data with standardized email formats.
  • Verifying or guessing email addresses for outreach campaigns.

Example use case:
Given the domain gucci.com, the node can return the standard email format (e.g., {first}.{last}@gucci.com) used by that organization.

Properties

Name Type Meaning
Domain String The domain to look up. For example, gucci.com. Required input field.

Output

The node returns a JSON object containing the email pattern information for the specified domain. While the exact structure depends on the API response, it typically includes fields such as:

{
  "email_pattern": "{first}.{last}@gucci.com",
  "domain": "gucci.com",
  // ...other metadata if provided by the API
}
  • email_pattern: The standard format used for company emails.
  • domain: The queried domain.

Note: The output does not include binary data.

Dependencies

  • External Service: Requires access to the Piloterr API.
  • API Key: You must configure valid Piloterr API credentials in n8n under the name piloterrApi.

Troubleshooting

Common Issues:

  • Invalid or missing API key: If your API credentials are incorrect or missing, the node will throw an authentication error. Ensure you have set up the piloterrApi credential in n8n.
  • Domain not found: If the provided domain does not exist or is not recognized by Piloterr, the response may be empty or contain an error message.
  • API rate limits: Excessive requests may result in rate limiting by the Piloterr API. Check your API usage and consider upgrading your plan if needed.

Error Handling:

  • If "Continue On Fail" is enabled, errors for individual items will be returned in the output with an error field containing the error message.
