Overview
This node interacts with the "Sample" resource to send an email-like message. Specifically, it sends a message with a subject and content to a target URL. This can be useful in scenarios where you want to trigger sending notifications, alerts, or custom messages to an external service or endpoint that accepts such data.
Practical examples include:
- Sending notification emails or messages from an automation workflow.
- Triggering external systems by posting message data to a webhook URL.
- Integrating with services that accept message payloads for further processing.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| URL | The target URL to which the message will be sent. |
| Subject | The subject line of the message/email to be sent. |
| Message | The main content/body of the message/email to be sent. |
Output
The node outputs JSON data representing the response from the send operation. The exact structure depends on the external service's response but generally confirms whether the message was successfully sent or not.
No binary data output is indicated in the source code.
Dependencies
- Requires an API key credential to authenticate with the external Fider API.
- Depends on internal helper functions (from
GenericFunctions) to perform the actual sending operation. - The node expects the user to provide a valid target URL and message details.
Troubleshooting
Common issues:
- Invalid or unreachable URL may cause the send operation to fail.
- Missing required parameters like subject or message will prevent execution.
- Authentication failures if the API key credential is missing or invalid.
Error messages:
- Errors thrown during sending are caught and either stop execution or, if "continue on fail" is enabled, return an error object in the output.
- Typical errors might include network errors, invalid responses, or authorization errors.
Resolution tips:
- Verify the URL is correct and accessible.
- Ensure all required fields (URL, subject, message) are provided.
- Check that the API key credential is configured properly in n8n.
