POST

Here’s an example of the JSON payload you will need to include in the HTTP Request node. Replace the placeholders with dynamic data from your workflow:

{  
  "gift_id": <GIFT_ID>,  
  "recipients": [  
    {  
      "email": "{{ $json.email }}",  
      "first_name": "{{ $json.firstName }}",  
      "last_name": "{{ $json.lastName }}",  
      "message": "Thank you for your time and support!",  
      "gift_redeem_type": "email"  
    }  
  ]  
}  

• Replace <GIFT_ID> with the Thnks ID of the gift you want to send.

• Use n8n variables (e.g., {{ $json.email }}) to dynamically populate recipient data from the workflow.

You will need to add the following headers in the HTTP Request node:

• Content-Type: application/json

• Authorization: Your Thnks API key (Authorization Token).

Open your n8n instance and click + New Workflow to start creating a new workflow.

Add a trigger node to specify the event that starts the workflow. For example:

• Webhook: Trigger the workflow via an external webhook.

• Schedule Trigger: Run the workflow on a schedule.

• App-Specific Trigger: Use triggers from supported apps like Salesforce, HubSpot, or other CRMs.

• Connect the HTTP Request node to your trigger node.

• Configure the HTTP Request node as follows:

  • Method: POST

  • URL: https://api.thnks.com/api/v1/gift_requests

  • Headers:

    • Content-Type: application/json

    • Authorization: Paste your Thnks API Key.

  • Body Type: JSON

  • JSON/RAW Parameters: Copy the JSON payload mentioned above and adjust it using n8n variables.

Use additional nodes to handle workflow logic, such as:

• Data Transformation: Use the Set or Function nodes to transform or map data.

• Conditional Logic: Use the If node to set conditions for sending a Thnks.

• Error Handling: Add a Catch node to handle errors during the API call.

Run the workflow using sample data to verify the HTTP Request node sends data correctly to the Thnks API.

View the execution logs in N8n to verify the response from the Thnks API and confirm that the gift was sent successfully.

Once verified, activate the workflow to enable automated Thnks sending.

Use error-handling nodes in N8n to manage failed API calls and implement retries if necessary.

Store your API key securely using N8n environment variables or credentials manager. Avoid hardcoding sensitive data in nodes.

Test the workflow with different scenarios to ensure all tokens, variables, and data mappings are correct.
