已知陷阱

  • Timezone support is limited: The Instantly API accepts a restricted set of timezone strings. Pacific Time ("America/Los_Angeles") is NOT supported. Use "America/Anchorage" (UTC-9/UTC-8) or "America/Dawson" (UTC-7 year-round) as alternatives.
  • Invalid schedule payloads cause 400 errors: A malformed
    campaign_schedule
    (missing
    days
    ,
    from
    ,
    to
    , or
    schedules
    ) triggers HTTP 400. Repeated 400s indicate payload issues, not transient failures.
  • Sequences must be complete: Each sequence step requires a valid
    type
    ("email"),
    delay
    , and at least one variant with both
    subject
    and
    body
    . Incomplete variants block campaign creation.
  • Only first sequence element is used: The API only processes
    sequences[0]
    . Additional sequences are ignored.
  • email_list must reference existing accounts: The
    email_list
    field requires email addresses of pre-configured sending accounts in your Instantly workspace, not arbitrary recipient addresses. Always use
    INSTANTLY_LIST_ACCOUNTS
    to discover valid sending addresses.
  • 401 scope errors on campaign creation: Campaign creation can fail with "Invalid scope. Required: campaigns:create". Update your API key permissions before retrying writes.
  • Read-back fields may differ: Field names in
    INSTANTLY_GET_CAMPAIGN
    responses may differ from create payloads (e.g.,
    timing.from_
    vs
    timing.from
    ). Parse defensively.
