Overview
The "Mailgroup" node allows interaction with a mailgroup instance, specifically managing subscribers and other related resources. The "Get Subscriber by ID" operation retrieves detailed information about a specific subscriber using their unique identifier. This is useful in scenarios where you need to fetch subscriber data for review, update, or integration with other systems.
Practical examples include:
- Fetching subscriber details before updating their information.
- Retrieving subscriber data to personalize email campaigns.
- Auditing subscriber status or attributes within an automation workflow.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| ID | The unique identifier of the subscriber object to retrieve. This is a required string input. |
Output
The output contains a JSON object representing the subscriber's data as returned from the mailgroup API. This typically includes subscriber attributes such as email, name, subscription status, and any custom fields defined in the mailgroup system.
If the node supports binary data output (not evident from the provided code), it would represent attachments or media related to the subscriber, but this is not indicated here.
Dependencies
- Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the mailgroup service.
- Needs configuration of domain URL, username, and password credentials for API access.
- The base URL for requests is constructed dynamically from the provided domain credential.
- The node depends on the mailgroup API being accessible and responsive.
Troubleshooting
Common issues:
- Invalid or missing subscriber ID will result in errors or empty responses.
- Incorrect API credentials or domain configuration can cause authentication failures.
- Network connectivity problems may prevent successful API calls.
Error messages:
- Authentication errors indicate invalid credentials; verify API user and password.
- "Subscriber not found" errors suggest the provided ID does not exist; double-check the ID.
- Timeout or connection errors require checking network access and API availability.
