detail.loadingPreview
Effortlessly send personalized postcards to new contacts in CentralStationCRM. This workflow automatically triggers postcard mailings via EchtPost when a new contact is added or updated, ensuring timely and impactful customer engagement.
About This Workflow
Elevate your customer outreach by automating physical mail with this seamless integration between CentralStationCRM and EchtPost. Whenever a new contact is created or an existing one is updated in your CentralStationCRM, this workflow springs into action. It intelligently filters the necessary contact information and, if the 'EchtPost' tag is present, sends a personalized postcard directly to them through the EchtPost API. This is a powerful way to add a tangible touchpoint to your digital CRM, fostering stronger connections and leaving a lasting impression on your clients and prospects.
Key Features
- Automated Postcard Mailings: Send physical postcards without manual intervention.
- CRM Integration: Seamlessly connects with CentralStationCRM for contact data.
- Conditional Triggering: Postcards are only sent when specifically tagged in your CRM.
- Personalized Content: Leverages existing CRM data for postcard content.
- API-Driven Efficiency: Utilizes the EchtPost API for streamlined postcard delivery.
How To Use
- Set up CentralStationCRM Webhook: Log in to CentralStationCRM, navigate to settings, and create a new webhook. Select 'Person' as the monitored object type and 'Update' as the monitored event. Enter the n8n webhook URL (obtained in step 2) as the Endpoint URL. Include 'tags', 'addrs', and 'companies' in Nested objects.
- Configure n8n Webhook Trigger: In your n8n workflow, configure the webhook trigger node. Set the HTTP Method to POST and Authentication to none. Use the 'Test URL' for initial setup and then switch to the 'Production URL', copying it to use in your CentralStationCRM webhook.
- Prepare Data with 'Set' Node: Configure the 'Set fields needed for EchtPost' node to include relevant contact information like company name, street, zip, city, country code, and taggings from the incoming CRM data.
- Conditional Logic with 'If' Node: Set up the 'Is "EchtPost" included in "taggings"?' node to check if the 'EchtPost' tag exists within the contact's tags. This ensures postcards are only sent when intended.
- Configure EchtPost API Node: Double-click the EchtPost API node. Set METHOD to POST, enter the EchtPost API endpoint ('https://api.echtpost.de/v1/cards'). For Authentication, select 'none' and enable 'SEND BODY' with 'JSON' as the Body Content Type.
- Enter EchtPost Credentials: In the 'Specify Body' section, switch to 'Expression' mode. Enter your EchtPost API key, the desired template ID, your notification email, and map the contact attributes using the provided JSON structure, referencing the data from CentralStationCRM.
- Activate the Workflow: Once all nodes are configured, enable the workflow switch in n8n.
