01 — The Logic

Why This Connection Matters

Activity Sync: Emails, replies, and meetings from Instantly are logged to the Salesforce Timeline. Status Sync: When a lead converts in Salesforce, the sequence stops automatically in Instantly.
02 — Application

Live Use Case

RevOps teams ensuring that no sales activity goes untracked and that AEs have full context on outbound history.
03 — Advantage

Strategic Value

Eliminates data silos. Your CRM remains the single source of truth while your outbound engine runs at high velocity.
04 — Execution

Related Blueprints

Follow this protocol to ensure data integrity across both systems.

Step 01

Define the Trigger

In Salesforce, create an Active List called 'Enriched - Ready for Sequencing'. Set the criteria to include contacts where 'Email' is known and the contact is ready for outreach.

Checkpoint

Ensure you exclude current customers or active opportunities to avoid awkward overlapping communications.

Event
Step 02

Configure the Webhook

In your automation tool, trigger a workflow when a contact enters this list. Map the Salesforce contact properties to your payload: Email, First Name, Company Name, and any custom variables.

Source
Dest
{
  "email": "{{email}}",
  "firstName": "{{firstname}}",
  "company": "{{company}}"
}
Step 03

Push to Instantly

Use the Instantly API node to 'Add Lead to Campaign'. Select the campaign ID that matches your desired sequence. Map the fields from the incoming webhook payload.

Step 04

Bi-Directional Sync

To sync replies back, use the Global Webhook in Instantly. Set it to trigger on 'Email Replied'. Point it to a workflow that finds the Contact in Salesforce by email and updates their status.

Checkpoint

Instantly webhooks may fire for all campaigns. Add a filter to route to the correct owner.
