Instantly

The robomotion instantly CLI connects to Instantly for cold email outreach management. It manages campaigns (create/update/activate/pause), imports and manages leads, tracks email analytics and sending stats, and handles email account configuration.

When to use

• Create, update, activate, or pause cold email campaigns
• Add, list, or manage leads in campaigns
• Track campaign analytics — open rates, replies, bounces
• Manage email sending accounts and warm-up settings

Prerequisites

• robomotion CLI installed
• Package installed: robomotion install instantly
• Instantly API key configured via Robomotion vault

IMPORTANT: Session Mode Required for Multi-Step Operations

Each CLI command runs as a separate process — connection IDs from connect do NOT persist across calls. You MUST use --session on connect and pass --session-id to all subsequent commands.

Workflow

1. Install (once): robomotion install instantly
2. Connect with session:

   robomotion instantly instantly_connect --session --output json
   # → {"outClientId":"<client-id>","session_id":"<session-id>"}
   

3. Use the returned client-id and session-id in all subsequent commands:

   robomotion instantly instantly_list_campaigns --client-id "<client-id>" --session-id "<session-id>" --output json
   

4. Disconnect when done:

   robomotion instantly instantly_disconnect --client-id "<client-id>" --session-id "<session-id>" --output json
   

Always append --output json to get structured JSON results.
