n8n Mautic Advanced Node

Note: This is an unofficial community node, not affiliated with or endorsed by n8n GmbH. It was built on the back of n8n's official Mautic node because the official node does not provide the API coverage needed for many real-world Mautic workflows (e.g. notes, users, roles, stats, themes, emails, fields, notifications, advanced filtering, and more).

Enhanced n8n node for Mautic with comprehensive API coverage including tags, campaigns, categories, notifications, and advanced contact management.

Authentication Errors

Cause: Incorrect credentials or URL Solution:

• Verify Mautic URL format (https://your-mautic.com)
• Check API credentials are active
• Ensure proper permissions for API access

Date Filter Issues

Cause: Incorrect date format Solution: Use YYYY-MM-DD format for date filters

Pagination Problems

Cause: Large datasets causing timeouts Solution: Use "Return All" option or set appropriate limits
