You’ll learn where to find your Instantly API key, how to connect it, and what you can do once it’s activated. ## What is Instantly Manager? Instantly Manager connects your Instantly.ai account (an AI-powered sales outreach platform) to your AI Agents and Automation Workflows. Instantly.ai helps teams find B2B leads, run personalised cold email campaigns, manage replies, and turn prospects into meetings — all from one platform. Once connected, your AI Agents can work alongside your outreach operations (campaign activity, deliverability tasks, inbox/reply handling, and performance monitoring) depending on what your workflow is designed to automate. ## Key Features - Supports scalable outreach to reduce manual sales work - Helps connect workflows to B2B lead generation and outreach activity - Works with Instantly capabilities such as: - Large lead database (the transcript references 450M+ leads) - Email warm-up and deliverability tools - Automated sequences - AI personalisation - Email verification - Unified inbox for reply management - Analytics and reporting ## Example Use Cases 1. Automate lead-to-campaign handoff - When a new lead list is prepared, trigger a workflow that kicks off the next outreach step (e.g., sequence enrolment and personalisation). 1. Reply management support - Monitor replies in a unified inbox and route messages into your internal process (e.g., categorise replies and prepare suggested responses for a sales rep to approve). 1. Deliverability checks before launching a campaign - Add a workflow step that ensures warm-up / verification actions are completed before sending at scale, helping protect deliverability. ## Getting Started ### How to Integrate Instantly Manager 1.

Practical scenarios you can run: - Lead list → campaign-ready preparation - Your Agent checks your draft lead list quality (duplicates, missing fields), suggests required personalisation variables, and prepares a clean import plan for Instantly. - Inbox triage and next-step routing - Your Agent reviews new replies, categorises them (Interested / Not Interested / OOO / Wrong person), drafts a suggested response, and prompts a human to approve before sending. - Meeting pipeline acceleration - When a lead replies positively, your Agent updates the lead’s status (e.g., Meeting Booked) and assigns it to the right owner for follow-up. - Deliverability guardrails - Your Agent monitors sending accounts’ health and warm-up analytics, flags issues (SPF/DKIM/DMARC or mailbox connectivity), and recommends fixes before you scale volume. - Campaign performance review - Your Agent pulls campaign analytics (daily + step breakdown), highlights what’s working, and proposes sequence improvements (subject line tests, step timing, variable usage). Workflow-style examples (copy/paste friendly) 1. Daily “Inbox Zero” assistant - Trigger: Every weekday morning - Agent actions: Check unread count → list newest replies → categorise → draft suggested responses → set reminders for “reply later” - Outcome: Faster response time, fewer missed opportunities 1. Pre-flight deliverability check before scaling - Trigger: Before activating a campaign or increasing daily limits - Agent actions: Check account vitals → review warm-up analytics → flag accounts at risk → recommend pausing or limiting volume - Outcome: Protects sender reputation and improves inbox placement 1. Lead enrichment and import guardrails - Trigger: When a new ICP is defined (industry, job titles, locations) - Agent actions: Estimate audience size → preview sample leads → import/enrich in controlled batches → add labels for routing - Outcome: Cleaner lists, better targeting, less wasted sending --- ## How your AI Agent can use this integration Below are the available Instantly Manager plugins your AI Agent can use, with a short description of what each does. ### Sending accounts (mailboxes) & deliverability - ListInstantlyAccounts: Lists connected sending mailboxes, including status, warm-up state, and daily sending limits. - GetInstantlyAccount: Retrieves a single sending account by email with warm-up and limit details. - CreateInstantlyAccount: Connects a sending mailbox to Instantly via SMTP/IMAP credentials (writes live sending setup). - UpdateInstantlyAccount: Updates settings on an existing Instantly sending account (limits, warm-up config, tracking domain, etc.). - SetInstantlyAccountState: Changes a sending account’s state (paused/active/fixed), which can affect live sending. - SetInstantlyAccountWarmup: Enables or disables warm-up for an Instantly sending account. - GetInstantlyAccountVitals: Checks deliverability health (SPF/DKIM/DMARC + SMTP/IMAP connectivity). - GetInstantlyAccountWarmupAnalytics: Pulls warm-up progress and inbox vs spam placement trends. - GetInstantlyAccountDailyAnalytics: Pulls daily sending volume/activity across accounts (optionally date-ranged). - GetInstantlyAccountDomainStatus: Checks whether a custom tracking domain is configured correctly. - ListInstantlyAccountCampaigns: Lists campaigns a specific sending account is attached to. ### Domains (DFY / pre-warmed domain research) - CheckInstantlyDomainAvailability: Checks if domains are available to register for done-for-you email accounts (read-only). - SuggestInstantlyDomains: Suggests available lookalike domains from a seed domain/keyword (read-only). - ListInstantlyPrewarmedDomains: Lists available pre-warmed domains (optional filtering by extension/name). ### Campaigns - ListInstantlyCampaigns: Lists campaigns in the workspace (status + configuration summary). - GetInstantlyCampaign: Retrieves full configuration and status for a single campaign by ID. - CreateInstantlyCampaign: Creates a new campaign (does not send until activated). - UpdateInstantlyCampaign: Updates a campaign’s configuration (schedule, sequences, limits, accounts, etc.). - SetInstantlyCampaignState: Activates or pauses a campaign (starts/stops real sending). - DuplicateInstantlyCampaign: Clones a campaign into a new one (inactive until activated).
