instantly-campaign

Create a paused Instantly cold email campaign by using a locked email sequence file and verified contacts, then bulk-loading up to 1000 leads per call and attaching all connected sending accounts before activation. The campaign remains paused for your review.

Instantly drops email bodies containing a literal ampersand character. To fix this, the campaign creation process sanitizes email body content by stripping problematic ampersands before uploading, then verifies that all step bodies remain non-empty after creation.

The best way to bulk load leads via the Instantly API is to page through your verified contacts file, loading up to 1000 leads per API call. This ensures efficient bulk-loading while attaching all sending accounts and configuring the schedule simultaneously.

Instantly enforces a restricted timezone enum for campaign scheduling and handles daylight saving time. You should supply a timezone from your config, defaulting to America/Vancouver, with fallbacks applied to satisfy Instantly's accepted timezone requirements.

Verify an Instantly campaign by checking that step bodies are non-empty and the campaign status is paused after the create and lead load operations complete. This confirms sending accounts are attached and email content survived sanitization.

You need a locked email sequence file containing the campaign steps and a verified contacts file containing your leads. These files provide the sanitized email bodies and bulk-loaded contacts required to build the fully-loaded paused campaign.
