About this skill
Install and Authenticate Instantly Tooling
Overview
Establish a reproducible server-side client without leaking a key or granting unnecessary scopes. 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 official TypeScript SDK is @instantlyai/sdk beta and requires Node.js 22 or later.
- The official CLI is @instantlyai/cli and supports INSTANTLY_API_KEY for non-interactive use.
- API v2 keys are displayed once and are not compatible with API v1.
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
- Inspect the repository runtime, package manager, lockfile, and existing Instantly client.
- Choose HTTP, SDK, or CLI deliberately and verify current first-party installation guidance.
- Pin a compatible version; use the SDK beta tag only while the first-party docs require it.
- Create a key with only the exact endpoint scopes and store it in an approved secret manager.
- Verify with one bounded read-only request and distinguish 401 from 403.
- Record versions, workspace identity, scopes, evidence, rotation owner, and rollback.
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:
client=sdk; runtime=node22; scopes=campaigns:read
Expected handoff:
package=@instantlyai/sdk; auth=pass; key=redacted
Resources
When not to use it
- →When an Instantly.ai account is not on the Hypergrowth plan or higher
- →When Node.js 18+ or Python 3.10+ is not available
- →When access to the Instantly dashboard is not available
Prerequisites
Limitations
- →API keys are shown only once upon creation
- →API v2 access requires a Hypergrowth plan or higher
- →Authentication errors can occur due to invalid or expired API keys
How it compares
This skill automates the initial setup of Instantly.ai API authentication and client wrappers, providing a quicker start than manually configuring environment variables and writing client code.
