Emelia trigger

Overview

Starts a workflow when Emelia sends a webhook callback for campaign activity events such as email sent, opened, replied, bounced, link clicked, or contact unsubscribed. Emelia is a cold email outreach platform. The trigger registers a webhook with Emelia’s API for a specific campaign and selected events, and receives POST callbacks with event payload data.

Node Type

Trigger — webhook (receives incoming HTTP callbacks)

This tool requires Emelia API credentials. See the Credentials Guide for setup instructions.

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Required	Default	Description
Campaign	string	Yes	—	The ID of the Emelia campaign to monitor for events.
Events	multiOptions	Yes	[]	Which campaign activity events to listen for.
				Options: bounced (Email Bounced), opened (Email Opened), replied (Email Replied), sent (Email Sent), clicked (Link Clicked), unsubscribed (Unsubscribed Contact)

Output Data

Each delivery from Emelia produces one output item. The webhook payload is copied onto the item unchanged, and three fields are added:

• _trigger — always emelia_trigger_webhook
• _timestamp — ISO 8601 timestamp of when the request arrived
• _webhookEvent — the event Emelia reported, taken from the payload’s event field, falling back to type

The Emelia payload itself carries:

• event — the campaign activity, e.g. sent
• campaignId — the campaign the event belongs to
• contactEmail, contactFirstName, contactLastName — the contact the event is about
• messageId — the message that produced the event
• sentAt — when the message was sent

Reference the payload downstream by expression, e.g. {{ $json.contactEmail }}.

Example Configuration

Fire when a contact replies to or clicks a link in a campaign:

{
  "type": "emelia_trigger",
  "parameters": {
    "campaignId": "5f8a1b2c3d4e5f6a7b8c9d0e",
    "events": ["replied", "clicked"]
  }
}

Track delivery problems on a campaign:

{
  "type": "emelia_trigger",
  "parameters": {
    "campaignId": "5f8a1b2c3d4e5f6a7b8c9d0e",
    "events": ["bounced", "unsubscribed"]
  }
}

Trigger Behavior

• Activation: When the workflow is activated, a webhook endpoint is registered with the service.
• Deactivation: The webhook is automatically unregistered when the workflow is deactivated.
• Payload: The incoming webhook payload is parsed and output as workflow items.
• Verification: Supports signature verification where applicable.

Tips

This tool triggers a workflow when an Emelia campaign event occurs, such as an email being sent, opened, replied to, bounced, a link clicked, or a contact unsubscribing. It is the right tool when you need to automate actions based on specific activities within your Emelia cold email outreach campaigns. The tool produces the full event payload from Emelia, containing details about the campaign activity.
