GrandCentralInstall

Overview

This node integrates with the GrandCentral API to perform various automation actions. Specifically, for the Emails resource and the Send Email operation, it sends an email message using the configured GrandCentral service. This is useful in workflows where automated email notifications or communications need to be sent based on triggers or other workflow logic.

Practical examples include:

• Sending confirmation emails after a form submission.
• Notifying team members about updates or alerts.
• Automating customer outreach or follow-ups.

Properties

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the response from the GrandCentral API after attempting to send the email. The output contains the details of the action performed, typically including success status and any relevant metadata returned by the API.

No binary data output is produced by this node.

Dependencies

• Requires an API key credential (access token) for authenticating requests to the GrandCentral API.
• The node makes HTTP POST requests to the /automations/action endpoint of the GrandCentral API.
• Proper configuration of the API credentials within n8n is necessary for successful execution.

Troubleshooting

• Common issues:

  • Invalid or expired access token leading to authentication failures.
  • Incorrect or missing required fields such as "To", "Subject", or "Message".
  • Network connectivity problems preventing API communication.

• Error messages:

  • Authentication errors typically indicate invalid or missing API credentials. Verify and update the access token.
  • Validation errors may occur if required properties are empty or malformed. Ensure all required fields are correctly filled.
  • API request failures might return HTTP error codes; check the API documentation and network status.
