Security & Permissions
Access is scoped to the connected Instantly workspace only.
All write operations require explicit user confirmation. Before executing any campaign, lead, or sequence action, confirm the target resource and intended effect with the user.
Destructive actions (delete campaign, delete lead, delete webhook) are marked as high-impact and must be confirmed.
Email sending is rate-limited by Instantly per account limits and your workspace plan.
Lead enrichment and data jobs may incur additional costs based on your Instantly plan.

For unfamiliar tools, ambiguous requests, or any write action, call clawlink_describe_tool first.
Use the returned guidance, schema, whenToUse, askBefore, safeDefaults, examples, and followups to shape the call.
Prefer read, list, search, and get operations before writes when that reduces ambiguity.
For writes or anything marked as requiring confirmation, call clawlink_preview_tool first.
Execute with clawlink_call_tool. Pass confirmation only after the preview matches the user's intent.
If the tool call fails, report the real error. Do not invent results or restate the failure as a missing capability unless the live catalog supports that conclusion.
Notes
Campaign creation requires at least one email account, one lead, email sequences, and schedule configured before activation.
Lead deduplication options are available when adding bulk leads (skip duplicates, upsert, etc.).
Subsequence trigger conditions include CRM status changes, lead activity, and reply keywords.
Custom tracking domains require SSL configuration and CNAME record setup before use.
API keys can be scoped with granular permissions (e.g., campaigns:read, leads:create).
Inbox placement tests measure deliverability across email providers with inbox vs spam vs category breakdowns.
Webhook events summary and date-based summaries provide aggregated delivery metrics.
