Interact with Instantly API

Overview

This node integrates with the Instantly API to manage email accounts used for outbound campaigns. Specifically, the Create Account operation allows users to add a new email account by providing SMTP details and credentials. This is useful in scenarios where you want to programmatically add sending accounts to your email outreach platform, enabling automated campaign management or bulk account setup.

Practical examples include:

  • Automatically provisioning new email accounts for marketing campaigns.
  • Integrating with user signup flows to create associated email sending accounts.
  • Managing multiple SMTP accounts dynamically within an automation workflow.

Properties

Name Meaning
Email The email address for the new account (e.g., user@example.com).
Password The password for the email account (input is masked for security).
SMTP Host The hostname of the SMTP server (e.g., smtp.gmail.com).
SMTP Port The port number of the SMTP server (commonly 587 for TLS or 465 for SSL).
Additional Fields Optional extra fields:
- First Name First name associated with the account.
- Last Name Last name associated with the account.
- Signature Email signature text to append to outgoing emails.
- Enable Warmup Boolean flag to enable or disable warmup for this account (default is enabled).

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the newly created account details as returned by the Instantly API. This typically includes fields such as the email, SMTP configuration, and any metadata related to the account creation status.

If the node supports binary data output (not indicated here), it would represent attachments or other non-JSON content, but this node primarily deals with JSON responses.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the Instantly API.
  • Needs network access to Instantly's API endpoints.
  • No additional environment variables are explicitly required beyond the API authentication.

Troubleshooting

  • Common issues:
    • Incorrect SMTP host or port can cause connection failures.
    • Invalid email or password will result in authentication errors.
    • Missing required fields (email, password, SMTP host, SMTP port) will cause validation errors.
  • Error messages:
    • Authentication failures usually indicate wrong credentials; verify email and password.
    • Network errors may suggest connectivity issues or incorrect API endpoint configuration.
    • Validation errors will specify which required property is missing or invalid.
  • Resolution tips:
    • Double-check SMTP settings with your email provider.
    • Ensure the API key credential is correctly configured in n8n.
    • Use the "Enable Warmup" option carefully depending on your sending strategy.
