Overview

This node integrates with the SmartLead API to manage email marketing automation, specifically handling various resources such as campaigns, leads, email accounts, analytics, smart delivery tests, webhooks, and smart senders.

For the Email Accounts - Get by ID operation, the node retrieves detailed information about a specific email account using its unique identifier. This is useful when you want to fetch configuration, status, or metadata of an email account that is part of your email marketing setup.

Common scenarios:

• Fetching details of an email account before updating or reconnecting it.
• Retrieving email account info for reporting or auditing purposes.
• Integrating email account data into workflows that require validation or synchronization.

Practical example:
You have multiple email accounts linked to different campaigns. Before sending emails, you want to verify the status and settings of a particular email account by its ID to ensure it is active and properly configured.

Properties

Note: For this operation, only the Email Account ID property is required and used.

Output

The node outputs the JSON response from the SmartLead API containing the details of the requested email account. The structure typically includes fields such as:

• Email account metadata (ID, email address, provider info)
• Status and configuration details
• Warmup settings if applicable
• Associated campaign IDs or usage statistics

If the API returns binary data (not typical for this operation), it would be summarized accordingly, but here the output is purely JSON.

The output is wrapped in n8n's standard execution metadata format, associating each item with the input index.

Dependencies

• Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the SmartLead API.
• The base URL for requests is https://server.smartlead.ai/api/v1.
• Proper configuration of the SmartLead API credentials in n8n is necessary.
• Network access to the SmartLead API endpoint must be available.

Troubleshooting

• Invalid Email Account ID: If the provided ID does not exist or is malformed, the API will likely return an error. Verify the ID correctness.
• Authentication Errors: Ensure the API key credential is valid and has sufficient permissions.
• Network Issues: Check connectivity to the SmartLead API server.
• JSON Parsing Errors: Not applicable for this operation since no JSON input is parsed, but other operations may throw errors if JSON inputs are invalid.
• Rate Limits: Be aware of any API rate limits imposed by SmartLead to avoid request failures.

Summary of execute() logic for Resource "emailAccount" and Operation "get"

• Reads the emailAccountId parameter.
• Constructs a GET request to https://server.smartlead.ai/api/v1/email-accounts/{emailAccountId}.
• Sends the request authenticated via the configured API key.
• Returns the JSON response data as output.

This operation is straightforward and involves a single GET request to fetch email account details by ID.
