Hi, i am trying to connect engagebay to Fetch Leads from it but following error
Authorization failed - please check your credentials
401 - “{"exception message":"authentication issue","status":"401"}”
Several possible reasons :
- Didn’t set the right credential type
maybe try the Header auth
- Some how your api key didn’t get the right permission or scope.
But let’s check you set the credential right first.
it comes now like this so its loggedin? i am new to this automation please let me know i am doing correct?
That’s not correct.
Your URL should only be https://app.engagebay.com/
Please look at their docuement and thinking about what do you want from the API.
And what’s the API endpoint along with what data you should provide to them.
If you are not familiar with API. You can put this document into ChatGPT and it will give you some instruction.
Since they don’t have lead.
Maybe you are talking about deals
Problem importing workflow
propertyValues[itemName] is not iterable
i am trying to import a json file on a new work flow and it says
Where is the workflow json coming from?
If it is generated by ChatGPT. It usually not working.
Please don’t ask ChatGPT to generate n8n workflow unless you are familiar with n8n workflow json format.
Ask it to give you instructions and steps to achieve it.

Go to n8n → Credentials → + New Credential
Select HTTP Basic Auth

Password: Your EngageBay API Key
Name it EngageBay Auth → Save
STEP 2: Create New Workflow in n8n
Go to Dashboard → New Workflow
Click + and add the Cron Node

STEP 3: Fetch Leads from EngageBay
Add HTTP Request Node

Rename this node: Fetch Leads
STEP 4: Loop Through Contacts

name: {{$json["first_name"]}}
email: {{$json["email"]}}
user_type: {{$json["custom_fields"]["user_type"]}}
template: ={{ $json["custom_fields"]["user_type"] === 'vip' ? 'vip-template' : 'basic-template' }}

STEP 8: Add Optional Wait + Follow-up
You can add a Wait Node (e.g. 2 days) and then:
Check if the user clicked/opened (EngageBay doesn't have webhook yet, so use a tag or manual review for now)
If not clicked:
Send follow-up email via another Send Email Node
Else:
Send thank-you or upsell email
STEP 9: Add UTM Tracking (optional)
For link tracking:
Use this link format:
https://yourdomain.com/special-offer?utm_source=email&utm_medium=n8n&utm_campaign=stage1
EngageBay tracks click events if UTM is used correctly
Yes, from chat gpt
