TIP💡 TIP: Create a dedicated API key specifically for n8n rather than reusing keys from other integrations. This makes it easier to track API usage and revoke access if needed without disrupting other connected services. Label your credential clearly in n8n (e.g., "Emelia - Production Account") if you manage multiple Emelia workspaces. For more guidance, check our n8n troubleshooting guide.- 01

Emelia actions available in n8n
01 Action 01Get Many Contact Lists
The Get Many Contact Lists action retrieves multiple contact lists from your Emelia account. Use this for auditing your list inventory, syncing to external tools, or building list selection interfaces.
Key parameters: Credential to connect with (required dropdown for authentication), Resource (set to "Contact List"), Operation (set to "Get Many"), Return All (toggle to fetch all lists or respect the limit), and Limit (numeric field for maximum lists to retrieve, default: 100).
Use cases: Audit all contact lists for data hygiene purposes, sync list metadata to a central marketing dashboard, and build a contact list selector for internal tools.

02 Action 02Add Contact to Contact List
The Add Contact to Contact List action adds a contact email to a reusable contact list rather than a specific campaign. Contact lists can be attached to multiple campaigns, making this action ideal for building segmented audiences.
Key parameters: Credential to connect with (required dropdown for Emelia authentication), Resource (set to "Contact List"), Operation (set to "Add"), Contact List Name or ID (field to specify which list receives the contact), Contact Email (required text field for the contact's email address), and Additional Fields (optional properties for enhanced contact data).
Use cases: Build segmented lists based on lead behavior or attributes, maintain a master list synced with your CRM, and create dynamic lists that feed multiple campaigns.

03 Action 03Start Campaign
The Start Campaign action activates a paused or ready campaign, beginning the email sending sequence. This is essential for workflows where campaign timing depends on external conditions—lead scoring thresholds, time-based triggers, or approval workflows.
Key parameters: Credential to connect with (required dropdown for Emelia authentication), Resource (set to "Campaign"), Operation (set to "Start" to activate the campaign), and Campaign ID (required text field specifying which campaign to start).
Use cases: Automatically start campaigns when lead lists reach a minimum size, trigger campaign activation after manager approval in Slack, and launch time-sensitive campaigns at specific hours using n8n's schedule trigger.

The Pause Campaign action temporarily halts an active campaign without deleting it. Use this for emergency stops, A/B testing scenarios, or when external conditions require pausing outreach.
Key parameters: Credential to connect with (required dropdown for authentication), Resource (set to "Campaign"), Operation (set to "Pause" to halt the campaign), and Campaign ID (required text field identifying which campaign to pause).
Use cases: Automatically pause campaigns when reply rates exceed thresholds (indicating potential issues), halt outreach when inventory runs out or service capacity is reached, and pause campaigns during company announcements or holidays.

05 Action 05Get Many Campaigns
The Get Many Campaigns action fetches multiple campaigns from your Emelia account in a single request. Ideal for building dashboards, syncing campaign data to other tools, or processing campaigns in bulk.
Key parameters: Credential to connect with (required dropdown for authentication), Resource (set to "Campaign"), Operation (set to "Get Many" to retrieve multiple records), Return All (toggle switch—when enabled, retrieves all campaigns; when disabled, respects the Limit parameter), and Limit (numeric field specifying the maximum number of campaigns to retrieve, default: 100).
Use cases: Sync all active campaigns to a reporting dashboard, audit campaign inventory across your Emelia account, and build a campaign selector interface in another application.

06 Action 06Get Campaign
The Get Campaign action retrieves detailed information about a specific campaign using its unique identifier. Use this when you need to check campaign status, pull statistics, or make decisions in your workflow based on campaign data.
Key parameters: Credential to connect with (required dropdown for Emelia account authentication), Resource (set to "Campaign"), Operation (set to "Get" to retrieve campaign data), and Campaign ID (required text field where you enter the unique identifier of the target campaign).
Use cases: Fetch campaign performance data before deciding to scale or pause, pull campaign details to populate reports or dashboards, and check campaign configuration before adding new contacts.

07 Action 07Duplicate Campaign
The Duplicate Campaign action creates a copy of an existing campaign with a new name. This accelerates campaign creation when you have proven templates and need to deploy variants for different segments or markets.
Key parameters: Credential to connect with (required dropdown for Emelia authentication), Resource (set to "Campaign"), Operation (set to "Duplicate"), Campaign Name or ID (dropdown to select the source campaign to copy), New Campaign Name (text field for the duplicated campaign's name—accepts fixed values or expressions), and Options (additional customization fields if needed).
Use cases: Clone winning campaigns for new geographic markets, create A/B test variants from a control campaign, and duplicate seasonal campaigns for recurring events.

08 Action 08Create Campaign
The Create Campaign action lets you programmatically spin up new outreach campaigns directly from your n8n workflows. This is particularly powerful when you need to launch targeted campaigns based on external triggers—think new product launches, event follow-ups, or segment-specific outreach.
Key parameters: Credential to connect with (required dropdown to select your authenticated Emelia account), Resource (set to "Campaign" to target campaign operations), Operation (set to "Create" to generate a new campaign), and Campaign Name (text field where you specify the name for your new campaign—accepts both fixed values and dynamic expressions).
Use cases: Automatically create a campaign when a new deal stage is reached in your CRM, generate segment-specific campaigns when audience criteria are met, and launch product-specific outreach campaigns triggered by inventory updates.

The Add Contact action adds a single contact email to a specific campaign. This is the bridge between your lead generation sources and Emelia outreach sequences.

Frequently asked questions
Is the Emelia n8n integration free to use?
The Emelia integration is included natively in n8n at no additional cost—there's no separate fee for the connector itself. However, you'll need active accounts on both platforms. n8n offers a free self-hosted option and paid cloud plans, while Emelia has its own subscription pricing for cold email features. API access is typically included in Emelia plans, but verify your specific plan includes API capabilities before building workflows. The integration itself adds no extra cost beyond your existing subscriptions.Can I add contacts with custom fields using the Emelia n8n integration?
Yes, both the "Add Contact" and "Add Contact to Contact List" actions include an "Additional Fields" section where you can pass supplementary data beyond the email address. This allows you to include first name, last name, company, and custom variables that personalize your Emelia sequences. Use n8n's expression editor to map data from previous workflow nodes directly into these fields, ensuring your contacts arrive in Emelia with all the context needed for effective personalization.How quickly can I set up the Emelia n8n integration?
Most users complete the initial setup in under 10 minutes. Generating your API key in Emelia takes about a minute, and configuring the credential in n8n takes another minute or two. Building your first workflow depends on complexity, but a simple "add contact to campaign" workflow can be operational in 5-10 minutes. The native integration means no custom code or third-party connectors—just drag, drop, configure, and activate. For more complex multi-step workflows, budget 30-60 minutes for initial setup and testing. Our n8n agency can help you build advanced automations faster.
