SmartLead

Comprehensive SmartLead API integration for email marketing automation

Overview

The "Get SPF Details" operation within the "Smart Delivery" resource of this node fetches SPF (Sender Policy Framework) authentication details related to email deliverability. SPF is a key email authentication method used to prevent spoofing by specifying which mail servers are authorized to send emails on behalf of a domain.

This operation is useful for email marketers, deliverability specialists, and IT administrators who want to verify or monitor the SPF configuration of their sending domains to improve email deliverability and reduce the chances of emails being marked as spam.

Practical examples:

  • Checking SPF records before launching an email campaign to ensure proper domain authentication.
  • Monitoring SPF details regularly to detect misconfigurations or unauthorized senders.
  • Troubleshooting email delivery issues related to SPF failures.

Output

The output JSON contains the SPF authentication details retrieved from the SmartLead Smart Delivery API endpoint /spf-details. The structure typically includes information about SPF records, their validity, and any issues detected.

The exact fields depend on the API response but generally include:

  • Domain name
  • SPF record string
  • Validation status (e.g., valid, invalid)
  • Any warnings or errors related to SPF configuration

No binary data output is involved in 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://smartdelivery.smartlead.ai/api/v1 for Smart Delivery endpoints.
  • Proper API permissions to access SPF details are necessary.

Troubleshooting

  • Invalid JSON Errors: This operation does not require JSON input, so such errors are unlikely here.
  • Authentication Failures: Ensure that the API key credential is correctly set up and has permission to access Smart Delivery endpoints.
  • Empty or Unexpected Response: Verify that SPF details exist for the domain/account in question; if none are found, the API may return empty data.
  • Network Issues: Check connectivity to smartdelivery.smartlead.ai and firewall settings.
