Instantly AI Overview and Lead Sourcing
Instantly AI enables users to find targeted leads by job title, industry, company size, and location.
Users can further narrow results and supplement lead lists by sourcing from multiple platforms (e.g., LinkedIn, Apollo, RocketReach).
The platform offers an enrichment feature to add more information about leads, even when uploaded from other tools.
Email Account Management and Deliverability
Multiple email accounts can be connected within Instantly AI, each with a "warmup" feature to mimic human behavior and improve deliverability.
Continuous warmup is essential for maintaining high deliverability rates, not just a one-time setup.
The platform automates warmup processes and automatically manages internal warmup tags and email state (read/unread).
Campaign Setup and Personalization Features
Campaign creation includes advanced personalization, notably a "random" function to vary openers and internal content for each email sent.
This feature enhances email uniqueness and helps bypass spam filters, improving open and delivery rates.
Scheduling, analytics, and additional delivery optimization settings are available for campaign management.
Live Campaign Results and Deliverability Techniques
A showcased campaign achieved an 87% open rate attributed to Instantly AI's deliverability features and email verification.
Instantly AI further verifies imported emails, reducing bounce rates and improving sender reputation.
Using multiple email addresses is recommended, and Instantly AI’s "UniBox" consolidates replies from all accounts into one interface for ease of response.
Analytics and Overall Recommendations
The tool provides analytics across campaigns, including open and reply rates, for performance tracking.
While Instantly AI is recommended for campaign sending and management, supplementary tools remain valuable for sourcing and validating lead lists.
Decisions
