Interact with Instantly API

Overview

This node integrates with the Instantly API to manage email marketing accounts, campaigns, leads, and analytics. Specifically, for the Account - Delete Account operation, it allows users to delete an existing email account from their Instantly system by specifying the target account either from a selectable list or by directly providing the email address.

Common scenarios where this node is beneficial include:

  • Cleaning up unused or obsolete email accounts from your marketing platform.
  • Automating account management workflows where accounts need to be programmatically removed based on certain criteria.
  • Integrating account deletion as part of broader campaign or lead management automation.

Example use case: Automatically deleting an email account when a user unsubscribes or requests removal from your mailing system.

Properties

Name Meaning
Email Account The email account to operate on. You can select an account from a searchable list of existing accounts or specify an email address manually.

The "Email Account" property supports two modes:

  • From List: Choose from a dropdown list of email accounts fetched dynamically from the Instantly API.
  • By Email: Enter the email address of the account to delete directly.

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the result of the delete operation. Typically, this will include confirmation of the deletion or any error messages if the operation failed.

  • The output json field contains the response from the Instantly API after attempting to delete the specified account.
  • No binary data output is involved in this operation.

Dependencies

  • Requires an active connection to the Instantly API via an API key credential configured in n8n.
  • The node depends on the Instantly API endpoints for fetching accounts and performing delete operations.
  • Network access to Instantly's API service must be available.

Troubleshooting

  • Common issues:

    • Providing an invalid or non-existent email account will likely cause the delete operation to fail.
    • Network or authentication errors if the API key is missing, expired, or incorrect.
    • Rate limiting or API quota exceeded errors from Instantly API.

  • Error messages:

    • Errors returned from the Instantly API are passed through in the node output under an error field.
    • If the node fails to fetch the list of email accounts for the dropdown, it logs an error but returns an empty list.

  • Resolutions:

    • Verify the email account exists before attempting deletion.
    • Ensure the API key credential is correctly set up and has sufficient permissions.
    • Check network connectivity and API status.
    • Use the "Continue On Fail" option in n8n to handle errors gracefully in workflows.
