About this skill
Instantly Bounded First Request
Overview
Prove a new Instantly integration with the smallest safe request and a redacted evidence handoff. Record assumptions, evidence, approval state, and rollback ownership so another operator can reproduce the result.
Prerequisites
- The target repository, Instantly workspace, environment, and accountable owner
- Current security, privacy, compliance, capacity, and change-control requirements
- An approved API v2 key only when a bounded live verification is necessary
Tool Discipline
Use Read, Glob, and Grep to inspect code, configuration, and evidence. Use WebFetch only for current first-party Instantly documentation and package metadata. Use Write or Edit only when implementation was requested and exact target files are known; never write credentials, lead data, email content, or unrestricted environment output.
Current Contract
- The API v2 base URL is https://api.instantly.ai/api/v2.
- Authorization uses an API v2 key as a Bearer token.
- A 401, 403, or 429 must fail the smoke test rather than trigger mutation or broad retries.
Authentication
Use an API v2 key as Authorization: Bearer <key> against https://api.instantly.ai/api/v2. Grant only the endpoint-specific scopes needed, inject the key from an approved server-side secret manager, and never print, persist, commit, or place it in a URL. Treat key creation, rotation, revocation, member changes, workspace delegation, and production access as owner-approved actions.
Instructions
- Confirm the target workspace and create a read-only key with accounts:read or campaigns:read.
- Store the key in a server-side environment variable and never print it.
- Send one list request with a limit no greater than five.
- Validate HTTP status and expected collection/pagination fields.
- Capture latency, status, route template, and redacted item count.
- Stop after the proof; do not create, patch, activate, or delete resources.
Approval Boundaries
Do not create, rotate, reveal, or revoke keys; invite or remove members; delegate across workspaces; connect sending accounts; create or activate campaigns; import or delete leads; change suppression or retention; register, patch, resume, or delete webhooks; alter plans or paid capacity; transmit diagnostics; or perform another production mutation without explicit approval from the accountable owner. Keep diagnosis read-only unless implementation was requested.
Output
Return the workspace-safe scope, files and contracts inspected, exact API v2 routes and required scopes, evidence collected, validation result, sensitive fields redacted, remaining risk, accountable owner, approval state, and rollback or next action.
Error Handling
| Condition | Response |
|---|---|
401 | Stop and verify that the bearer key exists, is current, and was not revoked. |
403 | Stop and compare the operation with its exact required scope; do not broaden to all:all by default. |
429 | Coordinate the workspace-wide budget, honor endpoint overrides, and bound retries. |
| Schema or tenant mismatch | Fail closed, preserve redacted evidence, and do not retry a mutation. |
Examples
Use a compact handoff that makes scope, mutation authority, and evidence reviewable.
Input:
resource=accounts; limit=5; workspace=staging
Expected handoff:
status=200; items=bounded; auth=redacted; mutation=none
Resources
Prerequisites
Limitations
- →Requires an existing Instantly API key
- →Requires at least one email account connected in Instantly
- →Requires campaigns to be created in the Instantly dashboard for a non-empty list
How it compares
This skill provides a functional code example for Instantly API v2, unlike manual API documentation review.
