Example use cases

Automated lead qualification and follow-up An agent monitors incoming replies via INSTANTLY_LIST_EMAILS, reads each thread, and uses INSTANTLY_UPDATE_LEAD_INTEREST_STATUS to tag leads as Interested or Not Interested, then triggers a follow-up sequence automatically. Campaign performance reporting An agent runs on a schedule to call INSTANTLY_GET_CAMPAIGN_ANALYTICS and INSTANTLY_GET_DAILY_CAMPAIGN_ANALYTICS across all active campaigns, compiling a daily summary of opens, replies, and bounce rates for the sales team. Lead list hygiene before campaign launch Before launching a new campaign, an agent iterates through a lead list using INSTANTLY_VERIFY_EMAIL and INSTANTLY_CHECK_EMAIL_VERIFICATION_STATUS to remove undeliverable addresses, then updates the list with INSTANTLY_UPDATE_LEAD_LIST and imports only verified leads.
