Overview

The node integrates with a Listmonk instance, a platform for email marketing and newsletter management. Specifically, the "Get Media by ID" operation under the "Media" resource retrieves detailed information about a media object stored in Listmonk by its unique identifier. This is useful when you need to fetch metadata or content details of a specific media item, such as images or files used in campaigns or templates.

Practical examples include:

  • Fetching an image or file's details before attaching it to an email campaign.
  • Retrieving media metadata to display or process within a workflow.
  • Validating that a media item exists before performing further operations like updates or deletions.

Properties

Name Meaning
ID The unique identifier of the media object to retrieve. Must be a valid number.

Output

The output JSON contains the data of the requested media object. This typically includes fields such as the media's ID, name, type, URL or storage path, size, and any other metadata associated with the media item in Listmonk.

If the media includes binary data (e.g., image files), the node may provide this as binary output, allowing subsequent nodes to process or save the media content directly.

Dependencies

  • Requires connection to a Listmonk instance via API.
  • Needs credentials including domain URL, username, and password for authentication.
  • The node uses HTTP Basic Authentication to communicate with the Listmonk API.
  • Proper configuration of these credentials in n8n is necessary for successful operation.

Troubleshooting

  • Invalid ID error: If the provided ID is not a valid number or does not correspond to an existing media item, the node will fail. Ensure the ID is correct and exists in Listmonk.
  • Authentication errors: Incorrect or missing credentials will cause authorization failures. Verify API credentials and permissions.
  • Network issues: Connectivity problems to the Listmonk server can cause timeouts or unreachable errors. Check network access and endpoint URL.
  • API changes: If Listmonk API endpoints or authentication methods change, the node might stop working until updated.
