Introducing KIRIM.EMAIL n8n Nodes: No-Code Email Automation, No Monthly Subscriptions

By / Leave a Comment / 6 minutes of reading

For the past few years, one question has kept coming into our support inbox:

“I want to send automatic emails when new data comes in from Google Forms. But I don’t want to pay for a monthly email marketing subscription. Is that possible?”

Or the alternative version:

“I’m already using n8n for my business automation workflows. Can KIRIM.EMAIL be integrated with it?”

Honestly, until now our answer was somewhat disappointing. We asked them to use the API manually. Meaning they had to code it themselves, set it up themselves, and more often than not, they gave up halfway through.

Today, that changes.

From now on, KIRIM.EMAIL is available as an official node in n8n — complete with three packages that cover almost all your email automation needs: from email validation and transactional sending, to webhook processing and contact management in email marketing.

What Is n8n and Why Does It Matter?

If you haven’t heard of it before, n8n (n8n.io) is an open-source workflow automation platform that has become incredibly popular among developers and power users. Think of it like Zapier or Make (Integromat), but more flexible, self-hostable for free, and far more capable for technical needs.

With n8n, you can connect hundreds of apps and services into a single automated workflow — without writing code from scratch. Just drag, drop, and configure.

Here’s why this is particularly relevant for KIRIM.EMAIL users:

Previously, to integrate KIRIM.EMAIL into an n8n workflow, you had to use the generic HTTP Request node and manually configure the endpoint, headers, body, and API authentication. It could be done — but it required time, technical knowledge, and extra patience.

Now? Just install the node, enter your API key, and start building. It’s that simple.

The Three KIRIM.EMAIL Nodes Available

Our CTO, Gamalan, released three packages at once. Let’s go through each one and how they connect to the KIRIM.EMAIL ecosystem.

Node 1: SMTP Management

@kirimemail/n8n-nodes-smtp-management

This node is your control center for KIRIM.EMAIL accounts. It uses user tokens (not domain keys), giving it account-level access.

What you can do with this node:

  • Check and retrieve remaining Credit balance in real-time
  • Validate email addresses before sending, using our Email Validation API — no need to pay for third-party services like ZeroBounce
  • Send emails directly from the node
  • Webhook trigger: n8n becomes a listener for every event from KIRIM.EMAIL

Node 2: Transactional

@kirimemail/n8n-nodes-transactional

This node is purpose-built for domain-based transactional email delivery, running on our Credit (pay-as-you-go) system. It authenticates using a domain API key and API secret — not user tokens.

This separation is intentional: user tokens give account-level access, while domain keys are scoped per sender domain. This follows security best practices — only grant the minimum permissions needed.

What you can do with this node:

  • Send transactional emails (order confirmations, password resets, etc.)
  • Send bulk/broadcast emails to large recipient lists
  • Process webhook events (bounces, opens, clicks)
  • Set up custom tracking links for your campaigns
  • If a bounce occurs, the system can be configured to automatically block that recipient so no further emails are sent to that address

Node 3: Marketing

@kirimemail/n8n-nodes-marketing-v3

This node connects n8n with KIRIM.EMAIL’s email marketing features, built on the Kontak (contact-based) system — no sending limit, but limited by contact list size.

What you can do with this node:

  • Add contacts
  • Remove contacts
  • Manage contact segments
  • Trigger broadcast campaigns from your workflows

How to Install KIRIM.EMAIL Nodes in n8n

Installing all three nodes is straightforward. From your n8n dashboard:

  1. Go to Settings → Community Nodes
  2. Click Install a community node
  3. Enter the package name you want to install:
    • @kirimemail/n8n-nodes-smtp-management
    • @kirimemail/n8n-nodes-transactional
    • @kirimemail/n8n-nodes-marketing-v3
  4. Click Install

Once installed, the KIRIM.EMAIL nodes will appear in your n8n node panel. Enter your API credentials from your KIRIM.EMAIL dashboard, and you’re ready to build your first workflow.

Real-World Scenario: From Google Forms to Automatic Email

Let me show you just how powerful the n8n + KIRIM.EMAIL combination can be with one real-world workflow example you can apply today.

Situation: You have a Google Form for new user registration, and you want to:

  1. Validate their email address first (using Email Validation)
  2. If valid → send a registration confirmation email
  3. If not valid → skip it, don’t add to your list
  4. Monitor whether the email was opened
  5. If not opened within 24 hours → send a reminder
  6. If a bounce occurs → automatically process it, don’t send to that address again in the future

With KIRIM.EMAIL and n8n, this entire workflow can be built without writing a single line of code.

The result? You save credits. You save time. You save sanity.

Who Is This For?

Let’s be honest — this is not for everyone. And that’s okay.

This is a great fit for you if:

  • You are a power user or developer
  • You are already using n8n
  • You want to send transactional emails
  • You want to store your own data
  • You want to configure custom tracking links

This might NOT be for you if:

  • You want a plug-and-play solution with zero configuration → use the Email Automation feature directly in your KIRIM.EMAIL dashboard
  • You are not familiar with n8n and don’t have time to learn it → you can always rely on our standard API interface

The key difference comes down to one question: How much control do you want?

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Do I still need a KIRIM.EMAIL account to use these nodes?

A: Yes. The nodes are simply integration layers that connect n8n to your existing KIRIM.EMAIL account. You’ll need an active account to authenticate and access the API.

Q: What’s the difference between the SMTP Management node and the Transactional node?

A: Good question. The SMTP Management node uses user tokens and gives you account-level control — checking credit balances, validating emails, and managing webhooks. The Transactional node uses domain API keys scoped to a specific sender domain. Think of it as the difference between having a master key (SMTP Management) and a room-specific key (Transactional). Use the one that matches your actual need.

Q: Does n8n need to be self-hosted? Or can I use n8n Cloud?

A: Both work. The nodes are standard npm packages, so they install the same way whether you’re using n8n Cloud or a self-hosted instance.

Q: Are there any additional costs beyond my existing KIRIM.EMAIL plan?

A: No. These nodes are free to install and use. You only pay for what you already pay for with KIRIM.EMAIL — based on the Credit system. No monthly subscriptions, no per-seat fees.

Q: How do I connect an n8n webhook to the KIRIM.EMAIL dashboard?

A: The KIRIM.EMAIL dashboard has a Webhooks section where you can register your n8n webhook URL as an endpoint. Once registered, KIRIM.EMAIL will POST event data (opens, clicks, bounces) to your n8n webhook, triggering your workflows in real time.

Q: I found a bug. Where do I report it?

A: These three nodes are early releases, and we know there’s a lot more that can be added. Our team has already logged various ideas for the next iteration, including nodes for domain management, suppression lists, and more comprehensive marketing features.

If you have a use case idea or a feature you’d like to see added, open an issue on GitHub or reach out to our team directly. We genuinely listen.

What’s Next?

This is just the beginning. Our roadmap includes:

  • Additional workflow templates for common automation scenarios
  • Enhanced AI integration with the AI nodes in n8n
  • More granular control over email tracking and analytics
  • Support for additional n8n features like error workflows and retry configurations

To get started today:

  1. Install n8n
  2. Install the KIRIM.EMAIL node
  3. Open the KIRIM.EMAIL API documentation
  4. Build your first workflow

Special thanks to Gamalan and the entire KIRIM.EMAIL engineering team for building this. This has been one of the most requested releases from our power user community.

And thank you — our users — for the feedback, questions, and push that keeps us growing. This is all for you.

Try it, see it for yourself. It’s your turn.
