SmartLead

Comprehensive SmartLead API integration for email marketing automation

Overview

The Smart Delivery - Get Folder by ID operation allows users to retrieve detailed information about a specific folder within the Smart Delivery system by providing its unique folder ID. This node is part of a broader integration with the SmartLead API, which supports email deliverability testing and placement analysis.

This operation is useful when you want to:

  • Access metadata or configuration details of a particular folder used for organizing tests or reports.
  • Integrate folder data retrieval into automated workflows for monitoring or reporting purposes.
  • Manage folders programmatically by fetching their current state before performing updates or deletions.

Practical example:
You have multiple folders categorizing your spam and placement tests by campaign or client. Using this node, you can fetch the details of a specific folder to display in a dashboard or to verify its existence before running further operations like adding tests or generating reports.


Properties

Name Meaning
Folder ID The unique identifier of the folder you want to retrieve. This is a required string input.

Output

The output of this operation is a JSON object representing the folder's details as returned by the Smart Delivery API. The structure typically includes fields such as:

  • id: The folder's unique ID.
  • name: The name of the folder.
  • description: A description of the folder.
  • Other metadata related to the folder's creation, modification, or contents.

The node outputs this data in the json field of the item, allowing downstream nodes to access folder information for further processing.

This node does not output binary data.


Dependencies

  • Requires an active connection to the SmartLead API via an API key credential configured in n8n.
  • The base URL for Smart Delivery endpoints is https://smartdelivery.smartlead.ai/api/v1.
  • Proper permissions on the API key to access folder resources are necessary.

Troubleshooting

  • Invalid Folder ID: If the provided folder ID does not exist or is malformed, the API will likely return an error. Verify the folder ID is correct.
  • Authentication Errors: Ensure that the API key credential is valid and has sufficient permissions.
  • JSON Parsing Errors: Not applicable here since no JSON input parsing is required for this operation.
  • Network Issues: Check connectivity to the Smart Delivery API endpoint.

If the node throws errors related to request failures, inspect the error message for HTTP status codes and messages from the API to guide resolution.
