Overview

This node operation allows users to create multiple public contacts in bulk by sending an array of contact objects. It is useful in scenarios where you need to add many contacts at once, such as importing a list of clients, subscribers, or leads into a system that manages public contact information. For example, a marketing team could use this node to upload a batch of new contacts collected from an event or a signup form.

Properties

Name Meaning
Contacts An array of contact objects to be created. Each object represents one contact's details.

The "Contacts" property expects a JSON array containing the contact data. The node parses this JSON and sends it as the request body.

Output

The output will contain a json field representing the response from the API after creating the contacts. This typically includes confirmation details such as IDs of the newly created contacts or status messages. If the API supports it, the output may also include any errors related to individual contacts within the batch.

No binary data output is indicated for this operation.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for authentication with the external service.
  • The node uses a base URL configured via credentials to send requests.
  • Depends on the external API endpoint that accepts batch creation of contacts in JSON format.

Troubleshooting

  • Invalid JSON in Contacts: If the JSON array provided in the "Contacts" property is malformed, the node will fail to parse it. Ensure the JSON syntax is correct.
  • API Authentication Errors: Missing or invalid API credentials will cause authentication failures. Verify that the API key or token is correctly set up in the node credentials.
  • Partial Failures: When creating multiple contacts, some may succeed while others fail due to validation errors. Check the response for detailed error messages per contact.
  • Network Issues: Connectivity problems can cause request timeouts or failures. Confirm network access to the API endpoint.

Links and References

  • Refer to the external API documentation for the exact schema of contact objects and batch creation behavior.
  • JSON formatting guides to help prepare the "Contacts" input properly.
