Interact with Instantly API

Overview

This node integrates with the Instantly API to retrieve multiple account records. Specifically, the "Get Many Accounts" operation fetches a list of accounts from the Instantly platform, allowing users to either return all available accounts or limit the number of results returned.

Common scenarios for this node include:

  • Synchronizing account data from Instantly into other systems.
  • Bulk processing or analysis of account information.
  • Automating workflows that require access to multiple user accounts managed in Instantly.

For example, a marketing automation workflow might use this node to pull all accounts and then segment them based on email domains or names before sending targeted campaigns.

Properties

Name Meaning
Return All Whether to return all account results or only up to a specified limit.
Limit The maximum number of account results to return when "Return All" is set to false.

Output

The node outputs an array of JSON objects representing Instantly accounts. Each object typically contains fields such as email, first name, last name, and possibly other account-related metadata as provided by the Instantly API.

No binary data output is indicated in the source code.

Example output structure (simplified):

[
  {
    "email": "user@example.com",
    "first_name": "John",
    "last_name": "Doe",
    "id": "12345"
  },
  ...
]

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the Instantly API.
  • The node uses HTTP requests to Instantly's REST endpoints (e.g., /api/v2/accounts).
  • No additional external dependencies beyond the Instantly API and n8n's standard HTTP request capabilities.

Troubleshooting

  • Common issues:

    • Authentication failures due to invalid or missing API credentials.
    • Network errors or timeouts when connecting to the Instantly API.
    • Receiving empty results if no accounts exist or if filters exclude all entries.
  • Error messages:

    • Errors during dropdown loading (e.g., fetching accounts) log messages like "Error fetching email accounts for dropdown".
    • If the API request fails, the node throws an error with the message from the API response.
  • Resolutions:

    • Verify that the API key credential is correctly configured and has sufficient permissions.
    • Check network connectivity and API endpoint availability.
    • Confirm that the Instantly account actually contains accounts to retrieve.
