Interact with Instantly API

Actions24

Overview

This node integrates with the Instantly API to manage marketing campaigns, leads, accounts, and analytics. Specifically, for the Campaign - Launch operation, it triggers the launch of a selected campaign within the Instantly platform. This is useful in scenarios where users want to programmatically start email or marketing campaigns as part of an automated workflow.

Practical examples include:

  • Automatically launching a drip email campaign when new leads are added.
  • Starting a promotional campaign at a scheduled time via n8n workflows.
  • Integrating campaign launches into broader marketing automation pipelines.

Properties

Name Meaning
Campaign The campaign to operate on. You can select a campaign from a searchable list or specify its ID directly.

The "Campaign" property supports two modes:

  • From List: Select a campaign from a dropdown list fetched dynamically from the Instantly API.
  • By ID: Manually enter the unique identifier of the campaign.

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the result of the campaign launch operation. The output structure corresponds to the Instantly API response for launching a campaign, typically including details such as campaign status, identifiers, and any relevant metadata returned by the API.

If an error occurs during execution, the output JSON will contain an error field with the error message.

No binary data output is produced by this node.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the Instantly API.
  • The node depends on the Instantly API endpoints, specifically /api/v2/campaigns for fetching campaigns and the appropriate endpoint for launching campaigns (handled internally).
  • No additional environment variables are explicitly required beyond the API authentication setup.

Troubleshooting

  • Common issues:

    • Invalid or missing campaign ID: Ensure the campaign exists and the ID is correct.
    • API authentication errors: Verify that the API key credential is valid and has sufficient permissions.
    • Network or connectivity problems: Check internet connection and Instantly API availability.

  • Error messages:

    • Errors thrown by the node will appear in the output JSON under an error field if "Continue On Fail" is enabled.
    • Typical error messages may relate to failed API requests, invalid parameters, or permission issues.

To resolve errors:

  • Double-check the campaign selection or ID input.
  • Confirm API credentials are correctly configured.
  • Review Instantly API status and logs for more details.
