Interact with mittwald mStudio API

Overview

This node operation updates the forward addresses associated with a specific mail address in the "Mail" resource. It allows users to modify which email addresses incoming mail is forwarded to for a given mail address ID. This is useful in scenarios where an organization or user needs to change or manage forwarding rules dynamically, such as redirecting emails to new team members or external addresses without changing the original mail address.

Practical examples:

  • Updating the forwarding list when an employee leaves and their emails need to be redirected.
  • Adding multiple forwarding addresses to distribute incoming mail to several recipients.
  • Removing outdated forwarding addresses to prevent mail from being sent to inactive accounts.

Properties

Name Meaning
Mail Address Id The unique identifier of the mail address whose forward addresses you want to update.
Forward Addresses A JSON array specifying the new list of email addresses to forward mail to.

Output

The node outputs JSON data reflecting the result of the update operation. Typically, this will include confirmation of the updated forward addresses or the updated mail address object as returned by the API. There is no indication that binary data is output by this node.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for authentication with the mittwald mStudio API.
  • The node communicates with the mittwald API endpoint at https://api.mittwald.de.
  • Proper configuration of the API credentials within n8n is necessary for successful requests.

Troubleshooting

  • Invalid Mail Address Id: If the provided mail address ID does not exist or is incorrect, the API may return an error indicating the resource was not found. Verify the ID before running the node.
  • Malformed Forward Addresses JSON: The forward addresses must be valid JSON. Errors parsing this input will cause the request to fail. Ensure the JSON array is correctly formatted.
  • Authentication Errors: Missing or invalid API credentials will result in authorization errors. Confirm that the API key is correctly set up in n8n.
  • API Rate Limits or Downtime: Temporary failures might occur due to API rate limits or service outages. Retrying after some time or checking the API status can help.
