Mailjet Trigger consultants

Q: What email events does the n8n Mailjet Trigger support?

The Mailjet Trigger listens for sent, open, click, bounce, spam, blocked, unsub, and other event types from Mailjet's Event API. Each event includes the recipient email address, message ID, timestamp, and event-specific details like the clicked URL or bounce error code.

Q: Can I update my CRM when someone opens or clicks an email?

Yes. When the Mailjet Trigger fires an open or click event, your n8n workflow can look up the recipient in your CRM and update their engagement score, add a tag, log an activity, or trigger an alert to the contact's assigned sales rep. This gives your sales team real-time visibility into prospect engagement.

Q: How do I handle email bounces automatically?

When Mailjet reports a hard bounce, n8n can update the contact's email status in your CRM, remove them from active mailing lists, and optionally trigger an SMS or phone outreach workflow as a fallback. For soft bounces, you might just log the event and let Mailjet retry. The workflow handles each bounce type differently.

Q: Can I trigger different workflows based on which link is clicked?

Yes. The Mailjet click event includes the URL that was clicked. Your n8n workflow can use a Switch node or IF node to route the event differently based on the URL — for example, clicking a pricing page link triggers a sales alert, while clicking a documentation link triggers a product-led nurture sequence.

Q: How reliable is the Mailjet webhook system?

Mailjet's Event API is reliable for most use cases, but webhooks are fire-and-forget — if your n8n instance is down when an event fires, you miss it. We typically set up a backup process that periodically pulls the Mailjet Event API for any events that might have been missed, ensuring no engagement data is lost.

Q: What is the difference between Mailjet Trigger and the regular Mailjet node in n8n?

The Mailjet node sends emails — transactional messages, campaign sends, and template-based emails. The Mailjet Trigger node receives events about emails that were already sent — opens, clicks, bounces, etc. Most integrations use both: the node to send, and the trigger to react to what happens after sending.

About Mailjet Trigger

Mailjet is a transactional and marketing email platform with an API designed for developers. The Mailjet Trigger in n8n listens for email engagement events — sends, opens, clicks, bounces, spam reports, and unsubscribes — and fires an n8n workflow whenever one of these events occurs. This turns your email activity into a real-time data stream that can drive actions across your other systems.

The practical use here is connecting email engagement data to your CRM and sales workflows. When a prospect opens your proposal email three times, n8n can flag them as hot in your CRM and alert your sales rep. When a transactional email bounces, n8n can update the contact record and trigger an alternative communication channel like SMS. When someone clicks a specific link in your campaign, n8n can tag them in your CRM or add them to a targeted follow-up sequence.

Mailjet’s webhook system (called Event API) sends JSON payloads for each event type, including the recipient email, message ID, timestamp, and event-specific data like which link was clicked or what bounce type occurred. The n8n Mailjet Trigger node receives these payloads and makes the data available to subsequent workflow nodes.

If you use Mailjet for transactional or marketing email and want engagement data flowing into your CRM, sales alerts, or customer support tools, our sales automation team can build the workflows that turn email events into business actions.

How it works

We work hand-in-hand with you to implement Mailjet Trigger

As Mailjet Trigger consultants we work with you hand in hand build more efficient and effective operations. Here’s how we will work with you to automate your business and integrate Mailjet Trigger with integrate and automate 800+ tools.

Step 1

Define your email engagement goals

We identify which Mailjet email events matter to your business — are you tracking opens on sales proposals, clicks on campaign CTAs, bounces on transactional emails, or unsubscribes from newsletters? Each use case drives a different workflow design, so we get specific about what actions each event should trigger.

Step 2

Configure Mailjet Event API webhooks

In your Mailjet account, we set up Event API webhook URLs pointing to n8n. We select the specific event types you need (open, click, bounce, unsub, etc.) and configure them per-message or account-wide depending on your requirements. We verify webhook delivery with test events.

Step 3

Build event processing workflows in n8n

We create n8n workflows that receive Mailjet event payloads and take the right action — updating CRM records on opens and clicks, flagging bounced contacts, alerting sales reps on high-engagement prospects, or adding contacts to follow-up sequences based on which links they clicked.

Step 4

Connect to your CRM and sales tools

We wire up the n8n workflow outputs to your CRM (HubSpot, Salesforce, Freshworks, Pipedrive, etc.), Slack for sales alerts, and your email or SMS platform for triggered follow-up sequences. Each connection maps Mailjet’s event data to the correct fields and actions in the destination system.

Step 5

Test with real email sends

We send test emails through Mailjet, open them, click links, and trigger bounces to verify that every event type flows through n8n correctly and produces the expected result in your CRM and other systems. We check timing, data accuracy, and edge cases like multiple opens from the same recipient.

Step 6

Monitor and optimise

After going live, we monitor the first few days of real email traffic to confirm event volumes are handled correctly, no events are being dropped, and CRM updates are accurate. We set up error notifications and document the complete workflow for your team.
