SmartLead

Comprehensive SmartLead API integration for email marketing automation

Overview

The node integrates with the SmartLead platform's Smart Delivery resource, specifically supporting the Get rDNS Report operation among many others. This operation retrieves a reverse DNS (rDNS) report related to email deliverability testing and placement analysis.

This node is useful for email marketers, deliverability specialists, and IT teams who want to analyze how their emails are routed and identified by recipient mail servers. The rDNS report helps verify if the sending IP addresses have proper reverse DNS records configured, which is critical for avoiding spam filters and improving email deliverability.

Practical example:
You can use this node to fetch an rDNS report for your recent email placement tests to ensure that your sending infrastructure is correctly set up and recognized by recipient servers, helping diagnose deliverability issues.


Properties

Name Meaning
Additional Fields Collection of optional fields:
- Limit: Number of results to return
- Offset: Number of results to skip

Output

  • The output JSON contains the data returned from the SmartLead API endpoint /reports/rdns.
  • This data typically includes detailed information about reverse DNS records associated with tested IP addresses.
  • The structure is an array or object representing rDNS entries, including IP addresses, hostnames, and possibly status or verification results.
  • No binary data output is involved in this operation.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the SmartLead API.
  • The base URL for Smart Delivery API calls is https://smartdelivery.smartlead.ai/api/v1.
  • The node uses HTTP requests with JSON payloads and expects JSON responses.
  • Proper configuration of the API authentication credential in n8n is necessary.

Troubleshooting

  • Invalid JSON errors: When providing JSON input parameters (not applicable for Get rDNS Report but relevant for other operations), ensure the JSON is well-formed. Errors will indicate invalid JSON with details.
  • API request failures: Network issues, incorrect API keys, or insufficient permissions may cause request failures. Verify credentials and network connectivity.
  • Empty or unexpected response: If the rDNS report returns empty or incomplete data, confirm that the test IDs or context exist and that the SmartLead service has processed the relevant tests.
  • Rate limits or throttling: Excessive requests might be limited by the API. Implement retry logic or reduce request frequency if needed.
