SmartLead

Comprehensive SmartLead API integration for email marketing automation

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 client association. This is useful for marketers or automation specialists who want to programmatically set up new campaigns within their SmartLead account as part of an automated workflow.

Practical examples include:

  • Automatically creating a new campaign when a new product launches.
  • Setting up campaigns dynamically based on customer segmentation.
  • Integrating campaign creation into larger marketing automation pipelines.

Properties

Name Meaning
Campaign Name The name to assign to the new campaign.
Additional Fields Optional extra settings for the campaign. Currently supports:
- Client ID: Numeric ID to associate the campaign with a specific client (optional).

Output

The node outputs the JSON response from the SmartLead API after creating the campaign. This typically includes details about the newly created campaign such as its unique ID, name, status, creation timestamps, and any other metadata returned by the API.

No binary data output is produced by this operation.

Dependencies

  • Requires an active connection to the SmartLead API via an API key credential configured in n8n.
  • The node uses the base URL https://server.smartlead.ai/api/v1 for API requests.
  • Proper permissions on the API key are needed to create campaigns.

Troubleshooting

  • Invalid JSON Errors: If you provide JSON input in other operations (not relevant here), ensure it is well-formed. For this operation, no JSON input is required except for the optional numeric client ID.
  • Authentication Errors: Ensure your API key credential is valid and has permission to create campaigns.
  • Missing Required Fields: The "Campaign Name" property is mandatory; omitting it will cause errors.
  • API Rate Limits: Be mindful of SmartLead API rate limits which may cause request failures if exceeded.
