Instantly

Overview

This node integrates with the Instantly API to manage marketing campaigns. Specifically, the "Create Campaign" operation allows users to create a new campaign by specifying its name and the associated email account ID. This is useful for automating campaign creation workflows in marketing automation, lead generation, or email outreach processes.

For example, you might use this node to programmatically create multiple campaigns based on different target segments or to integrate campaign creation into a larger automated sales funnel.

Properties

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the newly created campaign as returned by the Instantly API. This typically includes details such as the campaign's unique ID, name, associated email account ID, status, creation timestamps, and other metadata provided by the API.

No binary data output is produced by this operation.

Dependencies

• Requires an active Instantly API key credential configured in n8n to authenticate API requests.
• Relies on the Instantly API endpoint /api/v2/campaigns for creating campaigns.
• The node uses a helper function to make HTTP POST requests to the Instantly API.

Troubleshooting

• Common issues:

  • Missing or invalid API credentials will cause authentication failures.
  • Providing an invalid or non-existent email account ID will result in API errors.
  • Network connectivity problems can prevent successful API calls.

• Error messages:

  • Authentication errors usually indicate incorrect or missing API keys; verify your API credential setup.
  • Validation errors from the API may indicate missing required fields like campaign name or email account ID.
  • Rate limiting or server errors from the Instantly API should be retried after some delay.
