💡 Pro Tip — HTTP Request scraping tends to break when sites update their markup. If you’re scraping a major platform, check if ScraperNode covers it — it has maintained scrapers for LinkedIn, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, and 20+ other platforms that return structured data.

Description

This n8n workflow automates subdomain creation and deletion on GoDaddy using their API, triggered via email requests. This empowers developers to manage subdomains directly without involving DevOps for minor tasks.

Good to know

• Ensure GoDaddy API credentials are securely configured to avoid unauthorized access.
• Email parsing accuracy depends on the consistency of request formats.

How it works

• Detect new email requests using the Start Workflow (GET Request) node.
• Use the Extract Data from Email node to parse relevant details (e.g., subdomain name, action type).
• Validate the action type with the Validate Action Type node to proceed with create (true) or delete (false).
• If true, the Create Subdomain node sends a POST request to GoDaddy’s API to create the subdomain.
• If false, the Delete Subdomain node sends a DELETE request to remove the subdomain.
• The Send Email Response node notifies the requester of the action’s success or failure.

How to use

• Import the workflow into n8n and configure the nodes with your GoDaddy API and email credentials.
• Test with sample email requests to ensure proper parsing and API calls.

Requirements

• GoDaddy API credentials
• Email service (e.g., SMTP or API) for notifications

Customising this workflow

• Adjust the Extract Data from Email node to match your email format or add additional validation steps for security.
