Create and Update an Iterable User

Create or update an Iterable user, set their Name field and read the profile.

Setup

Use an email-based Iterable project and a server-side API key with user read and write access. In Open Flow, create a secret Variable for the key and bind Auth Token on all three HTTP nodes. Run with the user’s email, the value for the case-sensitive Name field, and region us or eu matching the Iterable project. In n8n, connect Iterable credentials to all three nodes, choose the same project region in the credential and edit Set user details.

Make sure your project permits the Name field and that you are authorized to update the user. Creating a profile can trigger project automations; check your project’s messaging and consent settings.

Behavior

The workflow makes two ordered user upserts for the same email. The first sends only the email; the second sets Name. It reads the user and checks that the email and field match. Iterable may drop an unrecognized field depending on project schema settings; the final check reports that case. An error stops subsequent steps. There is no automatic retry or rollback; after a lost response, inspect the profile before retrying.

Inspiration & credits

Changes to the source

Replace the empty email and name with configured values, preserve both upserts and use the same email throughout.
Return the user after checking the stored Name; use the Iterable HTTP API in Open Flow.
