Contact Property → Create

AI-generated

Overview

This node operation creates a new custom contact property in the Resend email platform. It allows users to define additional metadata fields for contacts, which can be used to store extra information such as company name or signup date. This is useful for personalizing email campaigns and managing contact data more effectively.

Use Case Examples

  1. Creating a custom property 'company_name' to store the company name of contacts.
  2. Adding a numeric property 'signup_date' to track when a contact signed up.

Properties

Name Meaning
Key Unique identifier for the contact property, used to reference the property when creating or updating contacts. It must be lowercase letters, numbers, and underscores.
Type The data type of the contact property, either String for text values or Number for numeric values.
Fallback Value Default value used in email templates when the property is not set for a contact, ensuring templates render correctly even with missing data.

Output

JSON

  • contactPropertyKey - The unique key identifier of the created contact property.
  • contactPropertyType - The data type of the created contact property.
  • contactPropertyFallbackValue - The fallback value for the contact property used in email templates.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for the Resend email platform to authenticate and perform the create operation.

Troubleshooting

  • Ensure the 'Key' is unique and follows the required format (lowercase letters, numbers, underscores).
  • Verify the API key credential is correctly configured and has permissions to create contact properties.
  • Check for network connectivity issues if the node fails to communicate with the Resend API.
  • Error messages related to invalid property types or missing required fields indicate input validation issues that need correction.
