· #174 most-usedCold email at scale, with an agent running every sequence
Instantly is a cold-outreach platform built for teams sending thousands of personalised emails across multiple inboxes without hitting spam filters. Connect it to Actionist and your agents can enrol leads, update statuses, pause and resume campaigns, verify email addresses before sending, and react to every reply or bounce event in real time — turning a manual SDR workflow into a fully autonomous outreach engine that runs around the clock.
Eliminates manual work. Agents eliminate the manual work of triaging inbound replies, tagging and re-tagging leads as they move through sequences, and stitching campaign performance data into reports.
What your Instantly agent runs on autopilot
A week of scheduled jobs your Actionist agent will execute on your behalf.
Instantly × every other app you use
End-to-end automations that span multiple apps — each one a real business outcome.
Reply-to-booked meeting in under 2 minutes
When a positive reply lands in an Instantly-monitored inbox, your agent reads the message, updates the lead's status to 'Interested', pulls their full history from the campaign, posts the hot-lead alert to the CS channel in Slack, and drops a calendar invite link into Google Calendar — all before the rep finishes their coffee. No leads cool off waiting for a human to triage their inbox.
Time saved for your team — every week, on autopilot

What your team gets back — two angles: what you stop doing manually, and what that's worth.

What your agent runs for you
- Sales18 min / weekManual reply triage
SDRs scan inboxes to classify each reply, update lead status in the CRM, and decide the next step — 3–5 minutes per reply across dozens daily.
Sales Agent0 minAgent classifies and routes every replyThe agent reads each Instantly reply, sets the lead status, alerts the rep in Slack, and books a calendar slot — all within seconds of the webhook firing.
- Marketing13 min / weekCampaign tagging clean-up
After each sprint, someone manually audits campaign tags to remove stale labels and apply current ones — easy to skip, easy to forget.
Marketing Agent0 minAgent keeps tags current automaticallyOn sprint boundaries the agent removes expired tags and applies new ones across all active Instantly campaigns, keeping segment data accurate without human effort.
- Customer Support18 min / weekOpt-out compliance logging
Support reps manually remove unsubscribed contacts from sequences and log opt-outs to a compliance spreadsheet — a repetitive, high-stakes task prone to gaps.
Customer Support Agent0 minAgent enforces opt-out in under 10 secondsWhen an Instantly unsubscribe event fires, the agent removes the lead from all campaigns, writes the opt-out to the Notion compliance log, and marks the CRM record — guaranteed every time.
- Human Resources7 min / weekRecruiter outreach re-routing
When a recruiter leaves, HR manually re-assigns their Instantly campaigns and updates lead statuses — a slow, error-prone handover.
Human Resources Agent0 minAgent re-tags and re-assigns on departureWhen an HR system flags a recruiter's departure, the agent re-tags their leads and pauses active campaigns pending the new owner's review — clean handover, no missed candidates.
- Finance13 min / weekCampaign cost attribution
Finance manually exports Instantly analytics and maps send volume to team budgets each month — fragile spreadsheet work with a high risk of misattribution.

- Legal6 min / weekGDPR opt-out audit
Legal periodically audits Instantly blocklists and opt-out logs to confirm GDPR compliance — a manual pull from multiple sources with no guaranteed cadence.
