# Instantly Integration

> Overview of the integration between Avina and Instantly.

## Overview

The Instantly integration connects Avina to your Instantly account, enabling automated outreach and sequence enrollment powered by buying signals.

<Note>
  **Picking a cold-email tool?** Instantly, [Lemlist](/integrations/lemlist/overview), and [Smartlead](/integrations/smartlead/overview) are all supported as sending platforms for AI Sequences and as automation destinations. For Avina's purposes they are functionally equivalent — pick the one your team already uses and trusts for deliverability.
</Note>

## Purpose

* **Enroll contacts into Instantly campaigns** from Avina automations
* **Pull Instantly engagement data** (sends, opens, replies) into Avina to strengthen signal quality
* **Use Instantly as a sending platform** for AI Sequences created in Avina

## How It Works

### Write

* **Campaigns:** Avina automations can enroll contacts into Instantly campaigns when signals fire.
* **Contacts:** Avina creates contacts in Instantly when new prospects are discovered.
* **AI Sequences:** when you create an AI Sequence in Avina with Instantly as the sending platform, the sequence is created in Instantly under the hood.

### Read

* Avina ingests Instantly campaign data, including email sends, opens, replies, and bounces.
* This engagement data feeds into signal enrichment and account context.

## Setup

1. Navigate to **Settings > Integrations** in Avina.
2. Select **Instantly**.
3. Enter your Instantly API key.
4. Save and verify the connection.

## Supported Actions in Automations

When building [automations](/features/automations), Instantly supports:

* **Add to sequence:** enroll contacts into an Instantly campaign

## Sync Behavior

* **Ongoing sync:** campaign activity syncs continuously.
* **De-duplication:** contacts are matched by email to prevent duplicates.
