Send interested Instantly leads to Liteo

Send interested Instantly leads to Liteo through Zapier, Make, Pabbly, or n8n. The workflow creates one lead contact and keeps repeated deliveries tied to the same person.

Use Instantly's Lead interested event. Do not use every reply as the trigger. Replies can be negative, automated, or from the wrong person.

Before you connect

You need:

• admin access to your Liteo workspace;
• an Instantly Hyper Growth plan or above;
• an Instantly API key with permission to read leads;
• an automation tool that can receive a webhook and make HTTP requests.

Create the Liteo connection

1. In Liteo, open Settings, then choose Integrations.
2. Find Instantly and select Set up Instantly.
3. Choose who should own new leads.
4. Select Create connection.
5. Copy the connection code before you close the dialog.

Receive the Instantly event

Create a webhook trigger in Zapier, Make, Pabbly, or n8n. Add its HTTPS address as an Instantly webhook and subscribe to Lead interested (lead_interested).

Filter before the next step. Continue only when event_type exactly equals lead_interested.

Confirm that the event includes:

• timestamp;
• workspace;
• campaign_id;
• lead_email.

Stop the run if any value is missing. Do not use reply_received, auto_reply_received, or a custom label as the default qualified-lead trigger.

Fetch the exact lead

Use the webhook's campaign and email to look up the Instantly lead:

Method: POST
URL: https://api.instantly.ai/api/v2/leads/list
Header: Authorization: Bearer YOUR_INSTANTLY_API_KEY
Header: Content-Type: application/json
Body: {"campaign":"{{campaign_id}}","contacts":["{{lead_email}}"],"limit":2}

Continue only when 1 item's campaign exactly equals the webhook's campaign_id and its email equals lead_email. The item's organization must also equal the webhook's workspace.

Stop the run if the lookup returns no exact match, more than 1 exact match, or an empty first_name. Do not invent a placeholder name or choose the first partial match.

Import the lead into Liteo

In Zapier, choose Liteo's Import Lead action. Map the fields below.

Liteo field	Instantly value
Source event ID	instantly:{{workspace}}:{{id}}:lead_interested
Provider	instantly
Provider account ID	workspace from the webhook
External lead ID	id from the matched lead
Lead status	event_type from the webhook
Qualified status	lead_interested
First name	first_name from the matched lead
Last name	last_name from the matched lead
Email	email from the matched lead
Phone	phone from the matched lead
Job title	job_title from the matched lead
Company name	company_name from the matched lead
Company website	website from the matched lead
Source	Instantly

You can add an existing Liteo tag such as Qualified. The workflow does not create tags, tasks, deals, pipelines, or custom fields for you.

For Make, Pabbly, or n8n, send the same values to POST /v1/inbound/leads. Use the Liteo connection code as a Bearer token and send the Source event ID as the Liteo-Idempotency-Key header.

Test the workflow

Mark 1 test lead Interested, then run the captured event through the complete workflow twice. Both runs should return the same Liteo contact.

Check the contact in Liteo. Confirm its owner, source, optional tag, email, and business before enabling the workflow.

Disconnect Instantly

Open Settings, choose Integrations, then find the Instantly key. Select Revoke key to stop later imports.

Remove the webhook or revoke its API key in Instantly separately. Contacts already added to Liteo stay in place.
