Integrations
Instantly
Connect Instantly to Obert for automated email outreach campaigns.
Instantly is an email outreach platform. Connecting it to Obert lets you push leads into Instantly campaigns for email follow-ups alongside your LinkedIn outreach.
Set up the integration
- Open Settings → Integrations.
- Find Instantly under Outreach.
- Click Configure.
- Enter your Instantly API key (V2).
- Find it in Instantly under Settings → API → API Keys.
- Make sure you're using a V2 key, not V1.
- Click Save.

Instantly deprecated V1 API keys in January 2026. Only V2 keys work with Obert.
Push leads to Instantly
- Open a list and select leads.
- Click Push to → Instantly.
- Select an Instantly campaign from the dropdown.
- Click Push.
Requirements
- Email is required. Instantly campaigns need an email address for each lead. Leads without emails are skipped.
- Batch limits. Obert sends up to 1,000 leads per API request.
Data sent to Instantly
| Obert field | Instantly field |
|---|---|
email (required) | |
| First name | first_name |
| Last name | last_name |
| Company | company_name |
| LinkedIn URL | linkedin_url (custom variable) |
| Job title | title |
Use in campaign sequences
Add an Add to Instantly step to your Obert campaign sequence for automatic email handoff:
- Open your campaign's sequence editor.
- Add an Integration step.
- Select Instantly and choose the destination campaign.
- Position it in your workflow — typically after a LinkedIn connection attempt, so leads who don't connect on LinkedIn get an email follow-up.
Multi-channel strategy
A common pattern is to combine Obert's LinkedIn campaigns with Instantly email campaigns:
- Obert sends a LinkedIn connection request.
- After a wait period, check if connected.
- Connected → send a LinkedIn follow-up message.
- Not connected → push to Instantly for an email sequence.
This ensures every lead gets outreach through at least one channel.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Solution |
|---|---|
| Leads skipped (no email) | Enrich leads with email data first using Clay, then push to Instantly. |
| Invalid API key | Ensure you're using a V2 key. V1 keys are no longer supported. |
| Campaign not found | The Instantly campaign may be archived or deleted. Check Instantly. |
