Overview
The "Listmonk Service" node is designed to interact with the Listmonk API, a self-hosted newsletter and mailing list manager. Specifically, the "List" resource with the "Get by ID" operation allows users to retrieve detailed information about a specific mailing list by providing its unique identifier. This node is beneficial in scenarios where workflows need to fetch and utilize mailing list data dynamically, such as syncing subscriber data, generating reports, or managing campaigns based on list attributes.
Practical example:
A marketing automation workflow could use this node to fetch details of a particular mailing list before sending targeted emails or updating subscriber segments based on the list's properties.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| List ID | ID of the list to retrieve |
- List ID: A numeric identifier representing the specific mailing list to fetch from the Listmonk service.
Output
The node outputs JSON data containing the details of the requested mailing list. The structure typically includes fields such as the list's ID, name, description, creation date, and other metadata relevant to the mailing list configuration within Listmonk.
If the node supports binary data output (not indicated here), it would represent attachments or files related to the list, but this is not applicable for the "Get by ID" operation.
Dependencies
- Requires an active connection to a Listmonk instance via its API.
- Needs an API authentication token or key configured in n8n credentials to authorize requests.
- The base URL for the Listmonk API must be correctly set in the credential configuration, ensuring no trailing slashes.
Troubleshooting
Common issues:
- Invalid or missing List ID: Ensure the List ID provided is correct and exists in the Listmonk instance.
- Authentication errors: Verify that the API key or token is valid and has sufficient permissions.
- Network or connectivity problems: Confirm that the Listmonk server is reachable from the n8n environment.
Error messages:
- 404 Not Found: The specified List ID does not exist. Double-check the ID value.
- 401 Unauthorized: Authentication failed. Check API credentials.
- 500 Internal Server Error: Server-side issue; retry later or check Listmonk server logs.
