Overview
This node integrates with the Instantly API to create new leads in a marketing or sales context. It allows users to add potential customer information such as email, name, company, and other optional details into the Instantly platform. This is useful for automating lead generation workflows, syncing lead data from other systems, or enriching marketing campaigns.
Practical examples include:
- Automatically adding new signups from a web form as leads.
- Importing leads from CRM or spreadsheet data.
- Associating leads with specific marketing campaigns for targeted outreach.

Output
The node outputs JSON data representing the created lead object as returned by the Instantly API. This typically includes all submitted fields along with any additional metadata assigned by the API (such as lead ID).
No binary data output is produced by this operation.
Dependencies
- Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the Instantly API.
- The node uses the Instantly REST API endpoints to perform operations.
- For campaign selection, it fetches available campaigns dynamically via the API.
- No additional environment variables are required beyond the API authentication setup.
Troubleshooting
- Invalid Email or Missing Required Fields: The API requires a valid email address; ensure the "Email" property is provided and correctly formatted.
- Campaign ID Validation: When specifying a campaign by ID, it must match the UUID format. Invalid IDs will cause errors.
- API Limits: The Instantly API may enforce rate limits or maximum payload sizes; if requests fail, check API usage quotas.
- Network Issues: Connectivity problems can cause request failures; verify network access to the Instantly API endpoint.
- Error Messages: Errors returned from the API are surfaced in the node output when "Continue On Fail" is enabled. Review error messages for clues on missing or invalid parameters.
