What you can automate

What can the Instantly Make integration do for your outreach?

The Instantly Make integration links your Instantly account to Make, a no-code tool where you build scenarios: automations made of modules, each module being one step such as a trigger, an action or a search. Leads, campaigns, blocklists and inbox checks become steps you can chain with your other apps.

Leads that reach the right campaign on their own. A contact fills in a form or lands in your CRM, and Add a Lead to a Campaign places it in the sequence you picked. For a list coming out of a sheet, Add Multiple Leads to a Campaign sends the batch in one step.

A clean blocklist. When a customer signs or asks to stop, Add Entries to the Blocklist keeps that address out of every future send, and Remove Entries from the Blocklist undoes it if the contact comes back.

Deliverability you can watch from elsewhere. Create Inbox Placement Test and the analytics modules pull test results and campaign figures into a report your team already reads.

What Make does not give you here: the catalog lists no instant trigger for Instantly, so Watch Events checks your account on the scenario's schedule instead of reacting the moment something happens. The API key behind the connection also requires the Instantly Hypergrowth plan or above. Many apps exist on n8n too; the n8n vs Make comparison lays out the criteria, and Make pricing explains how operations are counted. If you are new to the editor, Make training covers the basics.

Connect

How do you connect Instantly to Make?

  1. 01

    Copy your API key in Instantly

    Log in to Instantly, click your account icon in the upper right corner and choose Settings. Open Integrations and click Copy API Key. Keep that key somewhere safe: anyone holding it can act on your account.

  2. 02

    Open a connection in Make

    In your scenario, add any Instantly module and click Create a connection. A connection is your Instantly account linked to Make once, then reused by every Instantly module. The Connection name field is optional, but a clear name helps when you run several workspaces.

  3. 03

    Paste the key and save

    Paste the key into the API key field and click Save. If Make asks you to authenticate or confirm access, accept. The module can now read your campaigns and leads, and the next Instantly module you add will offer the same connection.

First scenario

Build your first scenario: new contacts straight into a campaign

GoalWhen a new prospect appears in your form or CRM, Make adds it to an Instantly campaign.

  1. 01

    Create the scenario

    From the Scenarios page, create a new scenario and click the + to place the first module. Pick the app where your prospects show up, such as your form tool or your CRM, and its trigger.

  2. 02

    Add the Instantly module

    Click the + on the right of that first module, search for Instantly and choose Add a Lead to a Campaign. Click Create a connection and paste your API key if you have not done it yet.

  3. 03

    Map the contact to the lead

    Once the connection exists, Make lists the campaigns it can read, so you pick yours from a menu. Then map the contact data coming from the first module into the Instantly fields. Each contact travels as one bundle, one item passed from module to module.

  4. 04

    Test with Run once

    Click Run once, then submit a test contact in your source app. Open the bubbles to read the bundles each module received, and check in Instantly that the lead now sits in the campaign.

  5. 05

    Schedule it and switch it on

    Set the schedule on the first module: every 15 minutes by default, 15 minutes at the shortest on the Free plan and 1 minute on paid plans. Switch the scenario on and new prospects will flow in without you.

Triggers

What starts an Instantly scenario

1 module starts a scenario when something happens in Instantly. A scheduled trigger is checked by Make on the scenario's schedule; an instant one is called by Instantly as soon as it happens.

Instantly1Watch Events

Watch Events

triggerIn the docs only

Watch Events is the one module that can start a scenario from inside Instantly, so activity in your account can update the rest of your stack without anyone copying data by hand. The docs list it without describing which events it returns, so read the bundles from a first test before you map anything.

How it fires
scheduled. Make checks the app on the scenario's schedule, every 15 minutes by default and never more often than that on the Free plan.
When to use it
when something that happens in Instantly should reach a CRM, a sheet or a team channel.
Watch out
results show up at the next scheduled check, not the second they happen.
Modules

Everything the Instantly modules can do

Instantly gives you 108 modules in 4 groups. For each one: what it does for you, when to reach for it, and what to watch out for.

Leads

5 modules
Instantly1

Add a Lead to a Campaign

ActionIn the docs only

One prospect in, one campaign started: this module drops a single contact into the Instantly sequence you choose, so a new signup gets your first email without a manual import.

When to use it
right after a form, a CRM or a booking tool hands you one new contact at a time.
Watch out
map the address from the previous module rather than typing it, or every run will add the same person.
Instantly2

Add Multiple Leads to a Campaign

ActionIn the docs only

A whole list lands in a campaign in one step, which keeps your operation count lower than adding the same contacts one by one. An operation is one run of one module, the unit Make counts on your plan.

When to use it
when a sheet or an export gives you a batch of prospects at once.
Watch out
run it once on a short test list before sending your real file.
Instantly3

Search Leads

SearchIn the docs only

Before you add or change anyone, this search tells you whether the prospect already exists in Instantly. It can return zero, one or several leads, each passed on as its own bundle.

When to use it
as a check in front of Add a Lead to a Campaign, to avoid writing to the same person twice.
Watch out
plan for the empty result, or the rest of the scenario will simply stop there.
Instantly4

Update a Lead Status

ActionIn the docs only

Your Instantly pipeline stays in step with what happens elsewhere: this action changes the status of an existing lead, so the campaign treats that person differently from then on.

When to use it
a deal moves forward in your CRM and the matching lead should reflect it.
Watch out
the lead has to exist already, so place Search Leads in front when the source only gives you an address.
Instantly5

Remove a Lead from a Campaign

ActionIn the docs only

Pull a contact out of a sequence the moment it no longer makes sense to email them, for example once they have booked a call through another tool.

When to use it
when an event outside Instantly means the follow-ups should stop for that person only.
Watch out
the lead leaves this campaign, not your account; use the blocklist modules if the address must never be contacted again.

Blocklist

2 modules
Instantly6

Add Entries to the Blocklist

ActionIn the docs only

Protect your sender reputation and your customers: entries added here are kept out of your Instantly sends, whichever campaign they sit in.

When to use it
a prospect becomes a client in your CRM, or someone asks to be left alone through a support tool.
Watch out
a wrong mapping can block a real prospect, so test with Run once on your own address first.
Instantly7

Remove Entries from the Blocklist

ActionIn the docs only

This is the undo button for the blocklist: the entry is lifted and the contact can receive your campaigns again.

When to use it
a former client reopens the conversation, or an address was blocked by mistake by another scenario.
Watch out
keep this step behind a clear condition in your scenario; an automatic unblock without a reason defeats the purpose of the list.

Other

1 module
Instantly8

Make an API Call

Action

In MakePerforms an arbitrary authorized API call.

When none of the listed modules does what you need, this one lets you call any endpoint of the Instantly API with the connection you already set up. No second key, no extra login.

When to use it
an option you know from the Instantly API has no dedicated module in Make.
Watch out
you describe the request yourself, so keep the Instantly API reference open while you fill it in.

Other modules

100 modules
Instantly9

Assign/Unassign Custom Tag

Action

In MakeAssign/Unassign Custom Tag

Tags you created in Instantly get attached to, or detached from, your items from inside a scenario, so sorting follows your business rules instead of someone's memory.

When to use it
a lead's source or segment is known in another app and should be visible in Instantly.
Watch out
the tag has to exist first; pair it with Create Custom Tag if your scenario introduces new ones.
Instantly10

Bulk Assign Leads To Organization Users

Action

In MakeBulk assign leads to organization users

Hand a group of leads to specific people on your team in one move, so each rep knows which prospects are theirs without a spreadsheet on the side.

When to use it
when a routing rule in your CRM or a form decides who owns which prospects.
Watch out
check the result in Instantly after a first Run once, since one wrong mapping sends a whole batch to the wrong person.
Instantly11

Count Unread Emails

Action

In MakeCount unread emails

Get a single number back: how many emails are waiting unread in Instantly. That figure can then drive an alert or a dashboard in another app.

When to use it
as the input of a reminder to your team when replies pile up.
Watch out
it counts, it does not read; add List Emails or Get Email when you need the messages themselves.
Instantly12

Create Account

Action

In MakeCreate account

New sending accounts can be added to Instantly from a scenario, which helps agencies and larger teams keep setup consistent instead of repeating it by hand.

When to use it
a new mailbox is provisioned in your IT tools and should appear in Instantly too.
Watch out
Get Account and Test Account Vitals are the natural next steps to confirm the account really works.
Instantly13

Create Block List Entrie

Action

In MakeCreate block list

Here you write a single new entry into your Instantly block list, handy when one event should block exactly one address or domain.

When to use it
one record at a time, for instance a single unsubscribe request arriving from your help desk.
Watch out
for several entries in one go, Add Entries to the Blocklist from the Blocklist group is the simpler pick.
Instantly14

Create Campaign

Action

In MakeCreate a new campaign.

Spin up a fresh Instantly campaign without opening the app, so each new offer, event or client starts from the same structure.

When to use it
an agency signs a client in its CRM and wants the matching campaign ready for review.
Watch out
a new campaign stays empty until you add leads; chain Add Multiple Leads to a Campaign after it, then check it before activating.
Instantly15

Create Campaign Subsequence

Action

In MakeCreate a new campaign subsequence

Branch a campaign: a subsequence is a follow-up path inside an existing campaign, and this module creates one from your scenario.

When to use it
when a group of leads needs a different follow-up than the main sequence, such as those who asked for pricing.
Watch out
leads do not enter it on their own; Move A Lead To A Subsequence does that part.
Instantly16

Create Custom Tag

Action

In MakeCreate Custom Tag

Your tag vocabulary grows with your business: this module adds a new custom tag to Instantly so later steps can use it.

When to use it
a new product line, region or partner appears in another tool and needs its own label in Instantly.
Watch out
run a List Custom Tags check first, or repeated runs will create near duplicates.
Instantly17

Create Email Verification

Action

In MakeStart email verification

Check an address before it costs you a bounce: this action asks Instantly to start verifying an email.

When to use it
between the moment a contact is captured and the moment you add it to a campaign.
Watch out
starting the check is not reading its outcome; follow up with Get Email Verification Status and only add the lead when the answer suits you.
Instantly18

Create Inbox Placement Test

Action

In MakeCreate Inbox Placement Test

Find out whether your emails land in the inbox or somewhere worse by launching an inbox placement test straight from Make.

When to use it
after a change to a sending account or a template, so a test starts without anyone remembering to do it.
Watch out
the results come later; read them with Get Inbox Placement Analytics in a separate step or scenario.
Instantly19

Create Lead

Action

In MakeCreate new lead

This one records a new lead in Instantly, a plain contact card that later steps can place in a list or a campaign.

When to use it
when you want the prospect stored first and decide on the campaign later in the scenario.
Watch out
if the goal is simply to start emailing, Add a Lead to a Campaign does both jobs in one module and one operation.
Instantly20

Create Lead Label

Action

In MakeCreate lead label

Labels describe where a lead stands, and this module lets your scenario create a new one in Instantly.

When to use it
your sales process gains a stage in the CRM and Instantly should speak the same language.
Watch out
labels are shared by the whole workspace, so agree on the wording with your team before automating it.
Instantly21

Create Lead List

Action

In MakeCreate lead list

Group prospects outside of any campaign: this module creates a new lead list in Instantly, ready to receive contacts.

When to use it
a trade show or a webinar produces a group you want to keep together before choosing its campaign.
Watch out
a list is a container, not a sending sequence; Move Leads To A Campaign Or List moves people in once it exists.
Instantly22

Create Workspace Group Member

Action

In MakeCreate workspace group member

Access management follows your org chart: this module adds a member to a workspace group in Instantly.

When to use it
a new hire is added in your HR or identity tool and should get the right Instantly group without a ticket.
Watch out
anything that grants access deserves a Run once check by an admin before the scenario is switched on.
Instantly23

Create Workspace Member

Action

In MakeCreate workspace member

Invite someone to your Instantly workspace from a scenario, so onboarding a new teammate is one step of a wider checklist.

When to use it
a new salesperson joins and your onboarding scenario already creates their other accounts.
Watch out
keep offboarding in mind too; Delete Workspace Member is the matching step for departures.
Instantly24

Delete Account

Action

In MakeDelete account

Retire a sending account from Instantly when the mailbox behind it is closed, so no campaign keeps trying to use it.

When to use it
a mailbox is shut down in your IT tools or a client relationship ends.
Watch out
treat deletion as final and test on a spare account first; Pause An Account is the gentler choice when you only need a break.
Instantly25

Delete Block List Entrie

Action

In MakeDelete Block List

One block list entry goes away, and that address or domain can be reached again by your campaigns.

When to use it
a single record was blocked by mistake and a trusted event tells you to lift it.
Watch out
mind the difference with Remove Entries from the Blocklist, which handles several entries; both deserve a clear condition in front of them.
Instantly26

Delete Campaign

Action

In MakeDelete a campaign using campign ID

Clear out a campaign you no longer need, which keeps the Instantly dashboard readable for the whole team.

When to use it
a client contract ends in your CRM and its campaign should disappear with it.
Watch out
nothing brings a deleted campaign back through Make; pull its figures with Get Campaign Analytics first, or pause it with Update Campaign Status instead.
Instantly27

Delete Campaign Subsequence

Action

In MakeDelete Campaign Subsequence

Remove a follow-up branch from a campaign once it has served its purpose.

When to use it
a temporary offer is over and the subsequence built for it should go.
Watch out
leads may still sit in it; move them out with Remove A Lead From A Subsequence first, or use Pause A Subsequence if you might need it again later.
Instantly28

Delete Custom Tag

Action

In MakeDelete Custom Tag

Tidy your tag list by removing a custom tag from Instantly when it no longer means anything.

When to use it
a product or segment is retired in the tool that drives your tagging.
Watch out
other scenarios may still assign that tag; check them before you delete it, or they will start failing on the next run.
Instantly29

Delete Inbox Placement Test

Action

In MakeDelete Inbox Placement Test

Clean up after deliverability checks: this action deletes an inbox placement test from Instantly.

When to use it
once the results of a test are saved in your own report and the test itself is clutter.
Watch out
read the results with Get Inbox Placement Analytics before this step, not after, because the order matters here.
Instantly30

Delete Lead

Action

In MakeDelete a lead

Erase a lead from Instantly altogether, which is what a data removal request usually requires.

When to use it
a person asks to have their data removed and your privacy process runs through Make.
Watch out
the lead is gone for good; if you only want to stop emailing someone, Remove a Lead from a Campaign or the blocklist is the safer route.
Instantly31

Delete Lead Label

Action

In MakeDelete lead label

Drop a lead label that your team has stopped using, so the choices in Instantly stay short and clear.

When to use it
a stage disappears from your sales process in the CRM.
Watch out
leads that carried the label lose that information, so export or relabel them with Patch Lead Label or Patch Lead beforehand if you care about history.
Instantly32

Delete Lead List

Action

In MakeDelete lead list

Remove a lead list once its contacts have moved on, which stops old imports from crowding your account.

When to use it
an event list has been fully moved into campaigns and has no use left.
Watch out
check with Get Lead List that it is really the one you mean; a mapped ID from the wrong bundle deletes the wrong list.
Instantly33

Delete Workspace Group Member

Action

In MakeDelete workspace group member

Take someone out of a workspace group in Instantly, so their access matches their current role.

When to use it
a teammate changes team in your HR tool and should leave the old group.
Watch out
this touches group membership only; the person stays in the workspace until Delete Workspace Member removes them.
Instantly34

Delete Workspace Member

Action

In MakeDelete workspace member

Close a person's access to your Instantly workspace as part of an offboarding scenario.

When to use it
someone leaves the company and your departure checklist already runs in Make.
Watch out
reassign their leads first with Bulk Assign Leads To Organization Users, so no prospect is left without an owner.
Instantly35

Duplicate A Subsequence

Action

In MakeDuplicate a subsequence

Copy a subsequence that already works instead of rebuilding it, which keeps tested follow-ups consistent across campaigns.

When to use it
a new campaign needs the same branch as an older one, for instance your no-reply follow-up.
Watch out
the copy is a starting point; adjust it with Patch Campaign Subsequence before leads flow into it.
Instantly36

Export Leads To An External App

Action

In MakeExport leads to an external app

Send leads from Instantly to another app, so the prospects your campaigns worked on do not stay locked in one tool.

When to use it
interested leads should continue their journey in a system outside Instantly.
Watch out
the docs do not say which destinations are supported; run a Run once test and check the bundle before relying on it.
Instantly37

Get Account

Action

In MakeGet account data

Read the details of one sending account, so later steps can decide what to do with it.

When to use it
before pausing, fixing or reporting on a specific mailbox connected to Instantly.
Watch out
it returns one account; List Accounts is the module for going through all of them.
Instantly38

Get Background Job

Action

In MakeGet background job

Some work in Instantly runs in the background; this module fetches where one of those jobs stands.

When to use it
a previous step started a job and the scenario should only continue once you know its state.
Watch out
a job may still be running when you ask; add a filter on the returned state instead of assuming it has finished.
Instantly39

Get Block List

Action

In MakeGet Block List

Look up one entry of your Instantly block list to confirm what is blocked before acting on it.

When to use it
a support request questions a block, and the scenario should show the entry to your team.
Watch out
to scan the full list rather than one entry, reach for List Block List.
Instantly40

Get Campaign

Action

In MakeGet Campaign Data

Fetch the data of one campaign so the rest of the scenario can use its settings or state.

When to use it
before changing a campaign with Patch Campaign, or to post its details in a team channel.
Watch out
performance figures sit elsewhere; Get Campaign Analytics is the module that returns results.
Instantly41

Get Campaign Analytics

Action

In MakeGet analytics for one or multiple campaigns.

Pulls the analytics of one campaign, or of several at once, into your scenario so the figures can land in a sheet, a CRM or a team message. Make carries what Instantly reports, nothing more.

When to use it
When a campaign ends and its results should be archived next to the deals it produced.
Watch out
The doc lists no fields, so run the scenario once with Run once and read what comes back before mapping anything.
Instantly42

Get Campaign Analytics Overview

Action

In MakeGet analytics overview for one or multiple campaigns.

Gives you the summary view of campaign analytics, for a single campaign or a group of them, rather than the detailed version. A good fit when a headline read is all anyone will look at.

When to use it
Pick it over Get Campaign Analytics when a manager only wants the big picture posted in a channel.
Watch out
The doc does not say which figures the overview keeps; test both modules on the same campaign and compare.
Instantly43

Get Campaign Daily Analytics

Action

In MakeGet analytics for one or multiple campaigns.

Fetches campaign analytics that, going by the module name, are broken down by day, for one or several campaigns. Useful to draw a trend line instead of reading one total.

When to use it
When each row of a spreadsheet stands for a date and a chart sits on top of it.
Watch out
Its official description is identical to Get Campaign Analytics, so confirm the daily split on a real test before building on it.
Instantly44

Get Campaign Step Analytics

Action

In MakeGet campaign steps analytics

Shows the figures for each step of a campaign, so you see which email of the sequence keeps people reading and which one loses them.

When to use it
Before rewriting a sequence, to drop the step figures side by side in a sheet and argue with data.
Watch out
It only reads numbers. Changing the steps themselves happens elsewhere, in Instantly or through another module.
Instantly45

Get Campaign Subsequence

Action

In MakeGet Campaign Subsequence data

Returns the data Instantly holds on one campaign subsequence, so the modules that follow can read its current state and act on it.

When to use it
Right before Patch Campaign Subsequence, to check what is set today and decide what to change.
Watch out
It targets one subsequence. A List Campaign Subsequence module placed earlier helps you pick the right one instead of typing it by hand.
Instantly46

Get Custom Tag

Action

In MakeGet Custom Tag

Reads a single custom tag from your Instantly account, which lets the scenario check it before tagging or untagging leads with Assign/Unassign Custom Tag.

When to use it
When a scenario must confirm a tag still exists before routing leads with it.
Watch out
To browse every tag at once, List Custom Tags is the better choice; this one reads a tag you already know.
Instantly47

Get Custom Tracking Domain Status

Action

In MakeGet custom tracking domain status of a host

Tells you the status Instantly reports for the custom tracking domain of a host, a quick way to spot a tracking setup that is not ready yet.

When to use it
Right after a new domain is configured, to alert the team in a chat tool if the answer is not the one expected.
Watch out
The doc does not list the possible status values; read one real answer before writing a filter on it.
Instantly48

Get Email

Action

In MakeGet email data

Fetches one email stored in Instantly with its data, so the message can be copied into a CRM note, a ticket or a shared document.

When to use it
Once List Emails has surfaced the message you care about and you need its full record.
Watch out
It reads one message per run of the module. For many emails, List Emails returns each one as a separate bundle (one item passed to the next module).
Instantly49

Get Email Verification Status

Action

In MakeGet email verification status

Checks where an email verification launched with Create Email Verification stands, so your scenario knows whether it can trust the address.

When to use it
In a later step, before the lead joins a campaign through Add a Lead to a Campaign.
Watch out
A verification is not always finished when you ask. If the status is not final yet, plan a new check rather than assuming the result.
Instantly50

Get Inbox Placement Analytics

Action

In MakeGet Inbox Placement Test Analytics

Brings back the results of an inbox placement test, the check that tells you where your emails land once sent. Handy to keep a history outside Instantly.

When to use it
When the person in charge of deliverability wants every test result stored in a sheet.
Watch out
Get Inbox Placement Test returns the test itself, this one its analytics: choose by what you need to read.
Instantly51

Get Inbox Placement Test

Action

In MakeGet Inbox Placement Test

Reads the record of one inbox placement test created in Instantly, so you can check how it was set up from inside a scenario.

When to use it
To look at a test made with Create Inbox Placement Test before editing it with Patch Inbox Placement Test.
Watch out
For the results, switch to Get Inbox Placement Analytics; mixing the two is the classic mistake here.
Instantly52

Get IP Blacklist And Spamassass In Report

Action

In MakeGet Inbox Placement Blacklist And Spamassass In Report

Retrieves the blacklist and SpamAssassin report tied to inbox placement, two signals that help explain why messages end up in spam folders.

When to use it
When replies dry up and the report should reach whoever manages the sending domains.
Watch out
The module name in Make carries an odd spelling (Spamassass In), so search for it that way. For several reports, List IP Blacklist And Spamassassin Report fits better.
Instantly53

Get Lead

Action

In MakeGet lead data

Returns what Instantly holds on one lead, ready to map into a CRM, a sheet or a message for the account owner.

When to use it
When an earlier module hands you a lead and the scenario needs the rest of its record.
Watch out
To find leads by criteria, Search Leads or List Leads return several bundles; Get Lead reads just one.
Instantly54

Get Lead Label

Action

In MakeGet lead label

Reads one lead label from Instantly, so the scenario can confirm it before sorting leads with it or changing it.

When to use it
Before Patch Lead Label or Delete Lead Label, to make sure you target the right label.
Watch out
List Lead Labels is the way to see all of them; this module needs you to point at one.
Instantly55

Get Lead List

Action

In MakeGet lead list

Gets one lead list from your Instantly account, a simple check that the list your scenario relies on is still there.

When to use it
Before Move Leads To A Campaign Or List sends people into it.
Watch out
The doc describes it as reading the list. To read the leads, use List Leads or Search Leads instead.
Instantly56

Get The Current Workspace Admin Workspace

Action

In MakeGet the current workspace admin workspace

Returns the admin workspace linked to the current workspace, as Instantly sees it through your connection (your Instantly account linked to Make).

When to use it
If you run several Instantly connections and need to know which admin workspace each one belongs to.
Watch out
The doc offers a one-line description only; test it and read the bundle to see exactly what comes back.
Instantly57

Get Warmup Analytics

Action

In MakeGet warmup analytics of emails

Pulls the warmup analytics of your email accounts, so you follow how sending addresses are warming up without opening Instantly.

When to use it
Before a fresh address joins a campaign, to log its warmup figures where the team can see them.
Watch out
It reports and nothing else. Stopping an account from sending goes through Pause An Account.
Instantly58

Get Workspace

Action

In MakeGet your current workspace details. It will return the workspace based on the API key sent.

Returns the details of the workspace your API key belongs to. Instantly picks the workspace from the key stored in the connection, not from a field you fill.

When to use it
When a scenario serves several connections and each record should be stamped with its workspace.
Watch out
Swap the connection and the answer changes. There is no workspace to choose inside the module.
Instantly59

Get Workspace Group Member

Action

In MakeGet workspace group member

Reads one workspace group member, which helps confirm a teammate's place in a group before anyone touches their access.

When to use it
During an offboarding check, to log what a departing teammate still has.
Watch out
For the full roster, List Workspace Group Member returns everyone as separate bundles.
Instantly60

Get Workspace Member

Action

In MakeGet workspace member

Fetches the record of one workspace member in Instantly, so your HR or ops tools stay aligned with who has access.

When to use it
Before Patch Workspace Member, to read the current record and change only what needs changing.
Watch out
A workspace member and a workspace group member are two objects in Instantly; pick the module that matches.
Instantly61

Mark An Account As Fixed

Action

In MakeMark an account as fixed

Tells Instantly that a sending account you repaired is fixed, so the loop closes from your scenario instead of the interface.

When to use it
At the end of a repair flow, once your own checks, Test Account Vitals for example, come back as expected.
Watch out
Marking an account as fixed repairs nothing by itself. Run it only after the real fix.
Instantly62

Mark Thread As Read

Action

In MakeMark all emails in a thread as read

Marks every email of a thread as read in Instantly, which keeps the inbox tidy once a reply has been handled in another tool.

When to use it
After a reply has been copied to a helpdesk or a CRM, so nobody treats it twice.
Watch out
It acts on the whole thread, not on one message. Count Unread Emails can confirm the result afterwards.
Instantly63

Merge Two Leads

Action

In MakeMerge Two Leads

Merges two leads into one in Instantly, a clean way to fix duplicates that came in from different sources.

When to use it
After Search Leads finds the same person twice under two records.
Watch out
The doc does not say which record wins or whether a merge can be undone; try it on a pair of dummy leads first.
Instantly64

Move A Lead To A Subsequence

Action

In MakeMove a lead to a subsequence

Sends a lead into a subsequence, so its follow-up changes the moment your scenario decides it should.

When to use it
When a reply calls for a different follow-up, for instance after Update The Interest Status Of A Lead has flagged it.
Watch out
Remove A Lead From A Subsequence does the opposite. Keep both in mind so no lead sits in the wrong track.
Instantly65

Move Leads To A Campaign Or List

Action

In MakeMove leads to a campaign or list

Moves leads to another campaign or to a lead list, reshaping your pipeline from Make without exporting a single file.

When to use it
When leads who never answered one campaign should wait in a list for another approach.
Watch out
Moving is for leads already in Instantly. A brand new contact goes in with Add a Lead to a Campaign or Create Lead.
Instantly66

Patch Account

Action

In MakePatch account

A sending account changes owner or name? Adjust it in Instantly from your scenario, with no trip to the settings page.

When to use it
When an ownership change or a rename decided in another tool must be reflected on the account.
Watch out
Once the connection exists, open the module in Make to see which settings it accepts, and read the account first with Get Account.
Instantly67

Patch Block List

Action

In MakePatch block list

Edits an entry already on your Instantly blocklist, instead of deleting it and adding it again.

When to use it
When a blocked address or domain was typed wrong and needs correcting.
Watch out
New entries go through Add Entries to the Blocklist or Create Block List Entrie; this module only changes existing ones.
Instantly68

Patch Campaign

Action

In MakeUpdate campaign data

Updates the data of an existing campaign straight from a scenario, handy when campaign settings are agreed in a form or a shared sheet.

When to use it
When marketing edits a planning sheet and the campaign should follow without anyone retyping it.
Watch out
The status has its own module, Update Campaign Status. Check which one owns the change you want.
Instantly69

Patch Campaign Subsequence

Action

In MakeUpdate a campaign subsequence

Changes an existing campaign subsequence without rebuilding it, so a follow-up can evolve along with what you learn.

When to use it
After Get Campaign Step Analytics shows a step that underperforms and the subsequence needs a tweak.
Watch out
To stop it for a while rather than edit it, Pause A Subsequence is the right tool.
Instantly70

Patch Custom Tag

Action

In MakePatch custom tag

Edits a custom tag in place, so you correct it without recreating it and reassigning it to every lead.

When to use it
When the team renames its tagging scheme and the tags in Instantly should match.
Watch out
This changes the tag itself. Which leads carry it is handled by Assign/Unassign Custom Tag.
Instantly71

Patch Inbox Placement Test

Action

In MakePatch Inbox Placement Test

Fix an inbox placement test that already exists instead of creating a new one.

When to use it
When a test built with Create Inbox Placement Test needs a correction before its next use.
Watch out
Read the current test first with Get Inbox Placement Test, then open the module in Make to see what you can change.
Instantly72

Patch Lead

Action

In MakePatch lead

Updates one lead in Instantly with fresher data from another tool, keeping both sides in line.

When to use it
When your CRM holds newer information about a contact than Instantly does.
Watch out
The interest status has its own module, Update The Interest Status Of A Lead. Use Patch Lead for the rest of the record.
Instantly73

Patch Lead Label

Action

In MakePatch lead label

Edits one lead label, so your labels keep matching the words your sales team actually uses.

When to use it
When a label is renamed in the CRM and Instantly should follow.
Watch out
Check the label with Get Lead Label before editing; a wrong target changes a label other scenarios may rely on.
Instantly74

Patch Lead List

Action

In MakePatch lead list

Updates one lead list in your Instantly account, handy when lists are named or organised from another tool.

When to use it
When the owner of a list changes in your CRM and the list should reflect it.
Watch out
It edits the list, not the leads inside it. Those are changed with Patch Lead.
Instantly75

Patch Workspace

Action

In MakePatch workspace

Updates the workspace your connection points to, from inside a scenario rather than the Instantly settings.

When to use it
When workspace details kept in another tool should be pushed to Instantly.
Watch out
As with Get Workspace, the target comes from the API key in the connection. Double check the connection before running it.
Instantly76

Patch Workspace Member

Action

In MakePatch workspace member

A change of role or team decided elsewhere reaches Instantly: this module updates one workspace member.

When to use it
When your HR tool records a change and access in Instantly should follow.
Watch out
Read the member first with Get Workspace Member, then open the module in Make to see what the update accepts.
Instantly77

Pause An Account

Action

In MakePause an account

Pauses a sending account in Instantly, stopping it from your scenario the moment a signal says something is wrong.

When to use it
When a deliverability report such as Get IP Blacklist And Spamassass In Report flags a problem.
Watch out
A paused account stays paused. Resume A Paused Account brings it back once the issue is solved.
Instantly78

Pause A Subsequence

Action

In MakePause a subsequence

Puts a subsequence on hold without deleting it, so its settings stay intact for later.

When to use it
When an offer ends or a message is under review and the follow-up should stop for now.
Watch out
Nothing restarts on its own; Resume A Paused Subsequence turns it back on.
Instantly79

Remove A Lead From A Subsequence

Action

In MakeRemove A Lead From A Subsequence

Takes a lead out of a subsequence, so it stops receiving that follow-up while staying in Instantly.

When to use it
When the lead replies through another channel, a call or a meeting, and the follow-up no longer makes sense.
Watch out
It only removes the lead from the subsequence. To take it out of a campaign, use Remove a Lead from a Campaign.
Instantly80

Reply To An Email

Action

In MakeReply to an email

Sends a reply to an email in Instantly, with text prepared by the earlier modules of your scenario.

When to use it
When a standard answer should go out as soon as a reply matches a rule you set in Make.
Watch out
It sends for real. Test with an email address you own before switching the scenario on.
Instantly81

Resume A Paused Account

Action

In MakeResume a paused account

Puts a sending account you had paused back into service, straight from your scenario. It is the mirror of Pause An Account, so the two usually live in the same automation.

When to use it
once a fix is confirmed on your side, for example after Test Account Vitals comes back clean, resume the account without opening Instantly.
Watch out
map the account from a previous module rather than typing it, so the scenario never resumes the wrong mailbox.
Instantly82

Resume A Paused Subsequence

Action

In MakeResume a paused subsequence

Restarts a subsequence (the follow-up branch of a campaign) that was on hold, so its steps can continue for the leads inside it.

When to use it
a subsequence was paused while your team rewrote a message, and the green light now comes from another app, such as a status change in your CRM.
Watch out
this module only resumes; stopping the branch again is the job of Pause A Subsequence, a separate module.
Instantly83

Share A Campaign

Action

In MakeShare a campaign

Shares an existing Instantly campaign from your scenario, which saves you from repeating the same clicks each time a campaign needs to reach someone else.

When to use it
right after Create Campaign in the same scenario, when every new campaign has to be shared as part of your launch routine.
Watch out
run it once with Run once on a test campaign first and check the result in Instantly before switching the scenario on.
Instantly84

Test Account Vitals

Action

In MakeTest account vitals

Runs a health check on a sending account and hands the result to the next module, so your scenario can decide what to do with a mailbox instead of you checking it by hand.

When to use it
before resuming an account or adding it to a campaign, to make the next step depend on the check.
Watch out
add a filter after this module; without one, the following steps run whatever the check returned.
Instantly85

Update Campaign Status

Action

In MakeUpdate campaign status

Changes the status of a campaign from Make, which lets another app decide when an Instantly campaign moves forward or stops.

When to use it
a deal is marked as closed in your CRM and the matching outreach campaign should change status without anyone logging in to Instantly.
Watch out
pick this module for the status only; to edit the rest of the campaign, Patch Campaign is the right brick.
Instantly86

Update The Interest Status Of A Lead

Action

In MakeUpdate The Interest Status Of A Lead

Records how interested a lead is, so the answer you got elsewhere shows up on the lead in Instantly and your sorting stays accurate.

When to use it
a prospect books a call through a form or a calendar app, and you want the lead in Instantly to reflect that interest at once.
Watch out
this is not the same as Update a Lead Status from the Leads group; pick the one that matches the status you actually track.
Instantly87

Delete Email

Search

In MakeDelete an email

Removes an email from your Instantly account through the scenario. Make lists it among the search modules, but its effect is a deletion.

When to use it
cleaning up test messages or duplicates that another module has already identified, such as List Emails followed by a filter.
Watch out
a deletion cannot be undone from Make, so test on a single bundle (one item passed between modules) with Run once before activating.
Instantly88

Get Campaign Associated With An Email

Search

In MakeGet Campaign Associated With An Email

Tells you which campaign a given email belongs to, which gives the rest of your scenario the context it needs to route a reply or a report.

When to use it
a message arrives in your flow and you need its campaign before posting it to the right Slack channel or sheet.
Watch out
as a search, it can return nothing; add a filter so the next modules do not run on an empty result.
Instantly89

Get Inbox Placement Analytics Stats By Date

Search

In MakeGet Inbox Placement Analytics Stats By Date

Pulls inbox placement statistics organized by date, handy for seeing how deliverability moves over time rather than looking at a single test.

When to use it
feeding a Google Sheets or Airtable dashboard that tracks where your messages land across a period you pick.
Watch out
each date can come back as its own bundle, and every module after it runs once per bundle, which counts operations on your plan.
Instantly90

List Accounts

Search

In MakeList's all accounts data

Returns the sending accounts of your workspace, one bundle per account, so later modules can act on each mailbox in turn.

When to use it
as the starting point of a check that loops through every account, for instance followed by Test Account Vitals.
Watch out
each returned account triggers the next modules once, so a large workspace uses more operations (Make counts one per module run).
Instantly91

List Audit Log

Search

In MakeList audit log

Reads the audit log of your Instantly workspace, so you can keep a trace of what happened in the account somewhere your team already looks.

When to use it
copying audit entries into a sheet or a database when several people share the workspace and you want a record outside Instantly.
Watch out
a scheduled run will read entries again unless you store what you already copied and filter on it.
Instantly92

List Background Job

Search

In MakeList background job

Lists the background jobs of your account, the long tasks Instantly processes behind the scenes, so a scenario can see what is still running.

When to use it
when you need an overview of several jobs; for one job you already know, Get Background Job is more direct.
Watch out
the list returns several bundles, and nothing downstream should assume there is exactly one.
Instantly93

List Block List

Search

In MakeList block list

Gives you the entries of your Instantly blocklist, which is useful to compare them with another source before sending.

When to use it
syncing your blocklist to a Google Sheet so sales can see who must never be contacted.
Watch out
to add or remove entries you need Add Entries to the Blocklist or Remove Entries from the Blocklist; this module only reads.
Instantly94

List Campaigns

Search

In MakeList Campaign's Data

Retrieves your campaigns as a list, one bundle each, which is the usual first step before reporting or acting on several campaigns at once.

When to use it
pairing it with Get Campaign Analytics to build one row per campaign in a reporting sheet.
Watch out
every campaign returned runs the following modules one time, so add a filter if only active campaigns interest you.
Instantly95

List Campaign Subsequence

Search

In MakeList Campaign Subsequence data

Shows the subsequences attached to a campaign, which helps when you manage follow-up branches from Make rather than one by one in Instantly.

When to use it
before pausing or resuming branches in bulk, to feed Pause A Subsequence or Resume A Paused Subsequence with the right items.
Watch out
a campaign without subsequences returns nothing, so plan that case with a filter.
Instantly96

List Custom Tags

Search

In MakeList Custom Tags

Collects the custom tags defined in your workspace, a quick way to check what already exists before creating or assigning one.

When to use it
ahead of Create Custom Tag, to avoid a duplicate when the tag name comes from another app.
Watch out
compare names in a filter after the list; Make does not stop you from creating a tag that already exists.
Instantly97

List Emails

Search

In MakeList email data

Reads emails from your Instantly account in bulk, so replies and sent messages can travel to your CRM, a sheet or a chat tool.

When to use it
logging conversations outside Instantly, where the whole team can read them without an Instantly seat.
Watch out
one bundle per email means one run of each following module per email; narrow the result or the operations add up.
Instantly98

List Inbox Placement Test

Search

In MakeList Inbox Placement Test

Returns your inbox placement tests (the checks of where your messages land) so you can pick one to analyze further.

When to use it
as the entry point of a deliverability report, followed by Get Inbox Placement Analytics for each test.
Watch out
older tests come back too; filter on the one you care about before running the heavier modules.
Instantly99

List Inbox Placement Test Analytics

Search

In MakeList Inbox Placement Test Analytics

Brings back analytics across your inbox placement tests in one pass, which suits a summary better than calling tests one at a time.

When to use it
filling a deliverability table that marketing and sales both read.
Watch out
for the figures of a single test, Get Inbox Placement Analytics avoids handling many bundles you do not need.
Instantly100

List IP Blacklist And Spamassassin Report

Search

In MakeList Inbox Placement Blacklist And Spamassassin Report

Collects the blacklist and SpamAssassin reports from your inbox placement tests, the signals that explain why messages may end up in spam.

When to use it
alerting your team in a chat tool when a report is available, so someone reviews it before the next send.
Watch out
the module returns reports, not a verdict; decide in a filter what should count as an alert.
Instantly101

List Lead Labels

Search

In MakeList lead labels

Lists the labels you use to sort leads, which lets a scenario map a value from another tool to an existing label.

When to use it
before Create Lead Label, or to translate a CRM stage into the matching Instantly label.
Watch out
label names typed differently in each tool will not match; keep them identical or map them explicitly.
Instantly102

List Lead List

Search

In MakeList lead list

Retrieves your lead lists, so the scenario can choose where new contacts go instead of relying on a fixed list.

When to use it
routing imported contacts to the right list by name before Move Leads To A Campaign Or List.
Watch out
this reads the lists themselves, not the leads inside; for contacts use List Leads.
Instantly103

List Leads

Search

In MakeList's all leads data

Pulls lead data from Instantly, one bundle per lead, ready to be copied, enriched or checked in another app.

When to use it
exporting leads to Airtable or a CRM when you want a wider view than Search Leads gives for a precise lookup.
Watch out
a large base produces many bundles, and every module after it counts an operation per lead.
Instantly104

List Workspace Group Member

Search

In MakeList workspace group member

Shows the members of a workspace group, handy to audit who has access when several teams work in the same Instantly setup.

When to use it
comparing group members with your HR tool or a sheet of active staff.
Watch out
this concerns group members; the individual workspace members are read with List Workspace Member.
Instantly105

List Workspace Member

Search

In MakeList workspace member

Lists the people in your workspace, so onboarding and offboarding checks can run from Make with the rest of your admin flows.

When to use it
spotting a former colleague who is still a member, before Delete Workspace Member removes the access.
Watch out
keep a human check before any deletion step fed by this list.
Instantly106

Patch Email

Search

In MakeUpdate email data

Updates data on an email already stored in Instantly. Make files it under searches, yet it changes the email rather than only reading it.

When to use it
when a scenario must adjust an email found earlier, for instance one returned by List Emails and matched by a filter.
Watch out
test with Run once on one message, since a wrong mapping would edit every email in the flow.
Instantly107

Retrieve Inbox Placement Analytics Deliverability Insights

Search

In MakeRetrieve Inbox Placement Analytics Deliverability Insights

Fetches deliverability insights from your inbox placement analytics, a readable layer on top of the raw test figures.

When to use it
sending a short deliverability summary to your team chat after a new test, instead of asking everyone to open Instantly.
Watch out
map only the fields you need into the message, otherwise the notification becomes hard to read.
Instantly108

Retrieve Inbox Placement Analytics Stats By Test ID

Search

In MakeRetrieve Inbox Placement Analytics Stats By TestID

Returns the placement statistics of one specific test, identified by its ID, which keeps your report focused on the test you just ran.

When to use it
right after Create Inbox Placement Test, reusing the ID from that module to read its results.
Watch out
map the ID from the previous module instead of pasting it by hand, or the scenario keeps reading the same old test.

FAQ

Instantly and Make: common questions

01Is the Instantly Make integration free?
On the Make side, yes. Instantly is a standard app, available from the Free plan, which allows 2 active scenarios, runs spaced by at least 15 minutes, 5 minutes of execution per run and 512 MB of data transfer. Paid plans (Core, Pro, Teams, Enterprise) bring the interval down to 1 minute and remove the cap on active scenarios. The catch sits on the Instantly side: the connection needs an API key, which Instantly only provides from its Hypergrowth plan upward.
02What do you need to connect Instantly to Make?
Three things: a Make account, an Instantly account on the Hypergrowth plan or higher, and the API key from that account. In Instantly, open Settings from your account icon, go to Integrations and click Copy API Key. In Make, add an Instantly module, click Create a connection, paste the key in the API key field and save. The same connection then serves every Instantly module, including Make an API Call, so the key is entered only once.
03Does the Instantly trigger in Make react immediately?
No. The only trigger, Watch Events, is scheduled: Make checks Instantly on the scenario's schedule, every 15 minutes by default. On the Free plan the shortest gap is 15 minutes, on paid plans it goes down to 1 minute. The catalog lists no instant trigger for Instantly, so plan your scenario around those checks. If you need a scenario to start from another app instead, put that app's trigger first and use the Instantly modules as actions.
04What if a module you need is missing from the Instantly app in Make?
Use Make an API Call. It calls any endpoint of the Instantly API with the connection you already created, so there is no second authentication to manage. You write the request yourself with the Instantly API reference open. Before going there, scan the list: with 85 actions and 23 searches covering leads, campaigns, subsequences, accounts, tags and inbox placement tests, the module you want may simply carry a different name than you expected.
05Make or n8n for Instantly?
It depends on your criteria rather than on a winner. On Make, Instantly offers 109 modules, works from the Free plan and covers gaps with Make an API Call, which makes it a solid place to start for teams already using Make. Many apps also have an n8n node, so check whether one exists for Instantly and compare the actions it offers with the list on this page. Your team's habits and the other apps in your stack usually settle the question.
