Campaign → Update Schedule

AI-generated

Overview

The node interacts with the Smartlead.ai API to manage and update various aspects of campaigns, leads, email accounts, statistics, webhooks, and clients. Specifically, for the Campaign - Update Schedule operation, it updates the scheduling settings of a campaign by specifying the timezone, active days of the week, and start/end times during which the campaign is active.

This operation is useful when you want to control when your campaign outreach or automation runs, ensuring that emails or actions are only performed during specified time windows and days, respecting recipients' local timezones or business hours.

Practical example:
You have a campaign targeting prospects in the US East Coast and want to send emails only on weekdays between 9 AM and 6 PM Eastern Time. Using this node operation, you can set the timezone to America/New_York, select Monday through Friday as active days, and specify the start and end times accordingly.

Properties

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the Smartlead.ai API.
  • The node makes HTTP POST requests to the endpoint:
    https://server.smartlead.ai/api/v1/campaigns/{campaignId}/schedule
  • Proper configuration of the API authentication credential in n8n is necessary.

Troubleshooting

  • Common issues:

    • Invalid or missing Campaign ID will cause the API request to fail.
    • Incorrectly formatted time strings (not in HH:MM) may result in errors.
    • Specifying days outside the allowed range (1-7) could cause unexpected behavior.
    • Network or authentication failures if the API key is invalid or expired.

  • Error messages:

    • "Campaign not found": Verify the Campaign ID is correct and exists.
    • "Invalid schedule parameters": Check the format and values of timezone, days, start time, and end time.
    • Authentication errors: Ensure the API key credential is correctly configured and has required permissions.
