Output
The node outputs JSON objects containing the generated content and related metadata:
- For single emails or custom content, the output includes the generated text content.

No binary data output is produced by this node.
Dependencies
- Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the Autobound API.
- Makes HTTP POST requests to Autobound endpoints:
https://api.autobound.ai/api/external/generate-content/v3.6for content generation.https://api.autobound.ai/api/external/generate-insights/v1.4for retrieving insights.
- Node configuration must include the appropriate API authentication token.
- Network connectivity to Autobound's API endpoints is required.
Troubleshooting
- Missing Required Fields: Errors occur if neither Contact Email nor Contact LinkedIn URL is provided, or neither User Email nor User LinkedIn URL is given. Ensure at least one identifier per party is supplied.
- Insight Filters Errors: If insight subtypes are disabled in the Autobound account but requested in the node, errors with code 4005 may appear. To fix:
- Enable the required insight types in your Autobound account.
- Use the "Return Top 20 Insights" option instead.
- Adjust enabled/disabled insight filters accordingly.
- Invalid Insight Subtype Selection: Selecting only placeholder values or no valid insight subtype when "Return Top 20 Insights" is disabled will cause errors.
- Content Type Compatibility: Requesting multiple variations (
n> 1) is incompatible with Email Sequence content type. - API Errors: General API errors return messages with details. Check network connectivity, API key validity, and parameter correctness.
- Fallback Behavior: On some insight filter errors, the node attempts a fallback request without disabled filters but warns in the output. Review these warnings to adjust settings.
