Validate Email Addresses with Apilayer API (Placeholder)

This n8n workflow provides a basic structure for initiating a process and editing data, with a placeholder for an HTTP request. While the directory name suggests email validation with Apilayer, the current JSON definition does not include the specific configuration for this API call. This README describes the workflow as defined in the JSON.

What it does

This workflow demonstrates a foundational n8n structure:

1. Manual Trigger: Starts the workflow execution when manually triggered within n8n.
2. Edit Fields (Set): Allows for the creation or modification of data fields within the workflow. This node can be used to prepare data for subsequent steps.
3. HTTP Request (Placeholder): Includes an HTTP Request node, which is typically used to interact with external APIs. In its current state, it is an unconfigured placeholder.
4. Sticky Note: Provides a textual annotation within the workflow for documentation or reminders.

Prerequisites/Requirements

• n8n Instance: An active n8n instance to import and run the workflow.
• API Key (Potential): If the HTTP Request node is configured for an external service like Apilayer, an API key for that service would be required.

Setup/Usage

1. Import the Workflow:
   • Copy the provided JSON code.
   • In your n8n instance, click "New" to create a new workflow.
   • Go to "File" > "Import from JSON" and paste the copied JSON.
2. Configure the "Edit Fields (Set)" Node:
   • Double-click the "Edit Fields (Set)" node.
   • Add or modify the fields as needed for your data processing.
3. Configure the "HTTP Request" Node (Optional - for Apilayer or other APIs):
   • Double-click the "HTTP Request" node.
   • To validate emails with Apilayer (as suggested by the directory name), you would need to configure this node with:
     • Method: GET
     • URL: https://api.apilayer.com/email_verification/verify?email={{ $json.email }} (Replace $json.email with the actual field containing the email address from a previous node, e.g., from the "Edit Fields" node).
     • Headers: Add a header apikey with your Apilayer API key.
   • Adjust other settings like authentication, query parameters, or body content based on the specific API you are interacting with.
4. Execute the Workflow:
   • Click the "Execute Workflow" button in the top right corner of the n8n editor.
   • The workflow will run, starting with the manual trigger.

This workflow serves as a starting point and requires further configuration of the "HTTP Request" node to perform specific API calls, such as email validation with Apilayer.
