Instantly for AI agents

Instantly automates cold email outreach, managing campaigns, leads, and inbox deliverability so sales and growth teams can run large outbound sequences without emails landing in spam. Connect it once through Arc0, and your agent, or Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor, can use it through one MCP endpoint, limited to what each user approved.

07 · FAQ

Instantly and Arc0, answered.

Q01

Can I use Instantly with Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor?

Yes. Connect Instantly to Arc0 once, then add your Arc0 MCP URL to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Claude Code or any other remote-MCP client. Each assistant only gets the Instantly actions you allow.

Q02

How do users connect Instantly?

Users add their Instantly api key on Arc0 Connect. It is encrypted in the vault, never shown to the model, and each user can rotate or revoke it at any time.

Q03

Which Instantly actions can my agent take?

117 in total: 53 read, 47 write and 17 destructive, such as “create Lead”. Your policies decide which of them each agent may call.

Q04

Can I stop my agent from deleting things in Instantly?

Yes. Actions like “delete Lead” are graded destructive. Set destructive actions to deny, or to ask so the user approves each one, and blocked calls still show up on the audit log.

Q05

Can my own backend call Instantly too?

Yes. The same Instantly connection is available over REST and through the Arc0 proxy, so your product and your agent share one connection per user.
