This article provides a complete, practical walkthrough of the Manual Mailjet Automate Triggered n8n agent. It connects HTTP Request, Webhook across approximately 1 node(s). Expect a Intermediate setup in 15-45 minutes. One‑time purchase: €29.

What This Agent Does

This agent orchestrates a reliable automation between HTTP Request, Webhook, handling triggers, data enrichment, and delivery with guardrails for errors and rate limits.

It streamlines multi‑step processes that would otherwise require manual exports, spreadsheet cleanup, and repeated API requests. By centralizing logic in n8n, it reduces context switching, lowers error rates, and ensures consistent results across teams.

Typical outcomes include faster lead handoffs, automated notifications, accurate data synchronization, and better visibility via execution logs and optional Slack/Email alerts.

How It Works

The workflow uses standard n8n building blocks like Webhook or Schedule triggers, HTTP Request for API calls, and control nodes (IF, Merge, Set) to validate inputs, branch on conditions, and format outputs. Retries and timeouts improve resilience, while credentials keep secrets safe.

   In today’s fast-paced digital environment, automating routine tasks like sending emails can save time and reduce errors. One powerful tool for building automation workflows without writing much code is n8n, an open-source, low-code workflow automation platform. In this article, we’ll walk through a simple n8n workflow that allows you to send a test email with the click of a button using the Mailjet email service.
   
   Whether you're a developer wanting to prototype quickly or a non-technical user looking to streamline communications, this beginner-friendly guide will show you how to use n8n and Mailjet together for a seamless email automation setup.
   
   Overview of the Workflow
   
   This n8n workflow consists of two nodes:
   
   1. A Manual Trigger node — activated when you manually execute the workflow.
   2. A Mailjet node — sends a predefined email using the Mailjet API.
   
   When executed, this automation workflow sends a test email with a subject and message to a specified recipient. It’s a perfect example of how to integrate n8n and Mailjet for simple email use cases like testing flows, sending notifications, or verifying templates.
   
   Let’s explore what each component does.
   
   Node 1: Manual Trigger
   
   The first node in the workflow is called “Manual Trigger.” This node works as a starting point, allowing you to run the workflow manually from the n8n editor. It’s commonly used for testing and development before deploying the workflow for production or scheduled use.
   
   Type: manualTrigger  
   Position: First node in the sequence  
   Purpose: Initiates the workflow with a manual click
   
   This node is particularly useful when you're building or debugging automations, as it gives you direct control over when the email should be sent.
   
   Node 2: Mailjet (Send Email)
   
   The second and final node is a Mailjet node that sends the actual email once triggered.
   
   Here are the parameters defined in this node:
   
   - From Email: user@example.com  
   - To Email: user2@example.com  
   - Subject: "Sample Subject"  
   - Body (text): “This is a test message”
   
   Integrated through your Mailjet credentials, this node connects to the Mailjet Email API to send the desired message.
   
   Type: mailjet  
   Action: Send email  
   Credentials: Connected via “mailjet creds” (stored securely in n8n)  
   Data sent: Subject, message body, sender, and recipient details
   
   With just these simple settings, the Mailjet node handles the email dispatch once the workflow is executed.
   
   Benefits of Using This Workflow
   
   1. Simplified Automation: Instead of composing manual emails during your testing or development routines, you can use this workflow to instantly send test messages.
   
   2. Rapid Prototyping: Perfect for experimenting with email layouts, user engagement tests, or development environments.
   
   3. Low-Code Solution: No need to touch backend configurations or SMTP setups—just drag and drop in the n8n workflow editor.
   
   4. Scalable Design: This workflow provides a building-block foundation. You can later integrate additional nodes, such as conditional logic, loops, or database lookups to create more complex automations.
   
   How to Use This Workflow
   
   To run this workflow in your own n8n instance:
   
   1. Ensure you have Mailjet credentials (API Key and Secret) stored in n8n.
   2. Create a new workflow in n8n.
   3. Add a Manual Trigger node.
   4. Add a Mailjet node and configure it as described, including the sender/recipient email addresses and message content.
   5. Connect the Manual Trigger node to the Mailjet node.
   6. Save your workflow.
   7. Click “Execute Workflow” in the top-right corner of n8n.
   
   Once clicked, your configured email will be sent instantly to the recipient defined.
   
   Final Thoughts
   
   This simple workflow demonstrates how easily n8n integrates with external services like Mailjet to automate common tasks—in this case, sending emails on demand. Starting with a straightforward manual trigger and a single email dispatch node provides a valuable foundation for more robust automation solutions in the future.
   
   Whether you're automating customer notifications, internal alerts, or test messages, n8n with Mailjet provides a frictionless, scalable, and low-code way to achieve your email automation goals. Try extending this workflow by adding dynamic data, email templates, or decision-based routing to suit your specific use case.
   
   If you're just getting started with automation, workflows like this make a perfect introduction to the world of no-code productivity.
   
   Let the automation begin—one click at a time.

   Ready to scale this workflow further? Check out n8n’s documentation or explore Mailjet’s API features to discover how much more you can do with email automation.

5. Set credentials for each API node (keys, OAuth) in Credentials.
6. Run a test via Execute Workflow. Inspect Run Data, then adjust parameters.
7. Enable the workflow to run on schedule, webhook, or triggers as configured.

Tips: keep secrets in credentials, add retries and timeouts on HTTP nodes, implement error notifications, and paginate large API fetches.

Validation: use IF/Code nodes to sanitize inputs and guard against empty payloads.

Why Automate This with AI Agents

AI‑assisted automations offload repetitive, error‑prone tasks to a predictable workflow. Instead of manual copy‑paste and ad‑hoc scripts, your team gets a governed pipeline with versioned state, auditability, and observable runs.

n8n’s node graph makes data flow transparent while AI‑powered enrichment (classification, extraction, summarization) boosts throughput and consistency. Teams reclaim time, reduce operational costs, and standardize best practices without sacrificing flexibility.

Compared to one‑off integrations, an AI agent is easier to extend: swap APIs, add filters, or bolt on notifications without rewriting everything. You get reliability, control, and a faster path from idea to production.

Best Practices

• Credentials: restrict scopes and rotate tokens regularly.
• Resilience: configure retries, timeouts, and backoff for API nodes.
• Data Quality: validate inputs; normalize fields early to reduce downstream branching.
• Performance: batch records and paginate for large datasets.
• Observability: add failure alerts (Email/Slack) and persistent logs for auditing.
• Security: avoid sensitive data in logs; use environment variables and n8n credentials.

FAQs

Can I swap integrations later? Yes. Replace or add nodes and re‑map fields without rebuilding the whole flow.

How do I monitor failures? Use Execution logs and add notifications on the Error Trigger path.

Does it scale? Use queues, batching, and sub‑workflows to split responsibilities and control load.

Is my data safe? Keep secrets in Credentials, restrict token scopes, and review access logs.
