Clean and Instantly: outbound from Clean, sent by Instantly

Connect Instantly and run outbound from Clean. Pick prospects or a saved list, add them to an Instantly campaign with a first email drafted from each one's signals, and launch the campaign from Clean. Instantly sends from your own mailboxes, and replies, bounces, and unsubscribes come back to each prospect.

The short answer

Clean finds the companies with a real reason to buy and writes the first email from that reason; Instantly is the sequencer that sends it. Once an admin connects the workspace's Instantly account, members can add up to 1,000 prospects at a time to a campaign, create, launch, and pause campaigns from the Sequences tab, and see each prospect's latest outcome. Clean never sends email itself: every message goes out through Instantly, from your mailboxes, on your schedule.

01

Every prospect arrives with its first email written

When Clean's research delivers a prospect, it also drafts a first cold email and a LinkedIn connection note from the signals it found, in the member's own writing style, with a line showing what the draft is based on. When you add that prospect to an Instantly campaign, the draft becomes the campaign's first email to that person, so each email opens with the reason that company is worth reaching now.

  • A subject and a short body for each prospect, written from the records behind it
  • Each member sets their own voice once in Settings, and can switch drafting off
  • An empty first email in the campaign is filled with each prospect's draft; text you wrote in Instantly is kept unless you choose to use the Clean drafts
  • Follow-up emails can be typed in Clean or generated, then saved to the campaign
02

Add to sequence, with nobody added by mistake

Pick the prospects you want, or a saved list, and choose one of your Instantly campaigns. Before anything is added, Clean shows who will be added, who will be skipped, and why. Up to 1,000 prospects go in per click, and a list is added as it stands at that moment.

  • Prospects without an email are skipped and listed, with a link to find their email
  • Anyone who unsubscribed or bounced before is never added again
  • Nobody is added to a campaign they are already in, or run in two of your campaigns at once
  • Prospects in Germany, Canada, or Australia, where consent rules are stricter, are flagged before you confirm
03

Run campaigns from the Sequences tab

The Sequences tab lists your Instantly campaigns with their status, prospects, emails sent, and replies. Create a campaign from Clean with your mailboxes and timezone, write its follow-ups, and launch or pause it. Clean checks that a campaign is ready before it starts and asks you to confirm how many people it will email from how many mailboxes.

  • Launch and pause with a readiness check and a confirm
  • New campaigns send on weekdays, 9 to 5 in your timezone, with unsubscribe turned on
  • Schedules, A/B variants, mailboxes, and deeper settings stay in Instantly, one click away
04

What comes back from Instantly

Instantly reports what happens next, and Clean shows it on each prospect: the campaign it is in and its latest outcome, such as sent, replied, interested, meeting booked, bounced, or unsubscribed. An unsubscribe or a bounce puts the address on your workspace's do-not-contact list, so it can never be added to any campaign again. Clean records the outcome, never the text of a reply.

05

Clean never sends email itself

Every email goes out through Instantly, from your own mailboxes, on your schedule, with Instantly's deliverability and stop-on-reply tools. Clean decides who is worth reaching and writes the first email from the evidence; your team chooses the campaign and presses Launch.

How to connect Instantly to Clean

An admin connects Instantly once for the whole workspace with an Instantly API key. Instantly has no sign-in for third-party apps, so Clean links straight to the page where you create the key. Clean seals the key on arrival, so nobody can view it.

  • Find Instantly under Outreach in Integrations. In your Clean workspace settings, open Integrations and choose Connect on the Instantly row in the Outreach section. A workspace admin connects it once for the whole workspace.
  • Create an API key in Instantly and paste it. Follow the link to Instantly's API keys page, create a key with the scopes Clean lists, and paste it into Clean. Clean checks the key and shows your Instantly workspace, its sending mailboxes, and its campaigns.
  • Add prospects to a campaign and launch it. Choose Add to sequence on your prospects, pick a selection or a saved list and an Instantly campaign, check who will be added and who is skipped, and confirm. Launch the campaign from the Sequences tab when it is ready.

Common questions

Does Clean send the emails?

No. Clean adds prospects to your Instantly campaigns and writes the first email; Instantly sends it from your own mailboxes once you launch the campaign. Clean never sends, posts, or replies on its own.

What does Clean send to Instantly for each prospect?

The prospect's email, first and last name, company, job title, company website, phone, LinkedIn URL, and location, plus the drafted subject and body as campaign variables. Clean's research notes stay in Clean.

What happens when someone unsubscribes or bounces?

Instantly tells Clean, and the address goes on your workspace's do-not-contact list. Clean will not add it to any campaign again, even if the person shows up again in a later search.

Can I add a whole list at once?

Yes. Choose a saved list instead of a selection, and Clean adds its members as they are at that moment, up to 1,000. Running the same list again later adds only the people not yet in that campaign.

Who can connect Instantly, and who can launch campaigns?

Workspace admins connect and disconnect Instantly. Members add prospects to campaigns and launch or pause them, each launch after a confirm. Viewers see the campaigns and each prospect's status.

Why an API key instead of signing in with Instantly?

Instantly does not offer sign-in for third-party apps, so Clean links you to Instantly's API keys page. You paste the key once; Clean seals it on arrival and nobody can view it. Disconnecting deletes Clean's copy.
