Unable to connect Instantly to a custom HTTP. Can you connect it at all?

[George2]

My problem is that I want to have Instantly, a cold email service, inputted into my workflows.

No specific error, I’m just struggling on inputting it. I am currently using HTTP Request and not getting anywhere with it. I’m working to put in the API key from Instantly, but not having any success.

{
“nodes”: [
{
“parameters”: {
“url”: “https://app.instantly.ai/app/unibox”,
“authentication”: “genericCredentialType”,
“genericAuthType”: “httpBasicAuth”,
“sendHeaders”: true,
“headerParameters”: {
“parameters”: [
{
“name”: “API Key”,
“value”: “Where I would put my API key”
}
]
},
“options”: {}
},
“type”: “n8n-nodes-base.httpRequest”,
“typeVersion”: 4.2,
“position”: [
1300,
-660
],
“id”: “1fff1e62-72f4-488d-991b-ce2086ac5ae9”,
“name”: “HTTP Request”,
“credentials”: {
“httpBasicAuth”: {
“id”: “gMRYkDEXZib9U3Bw”,
“name”: “Unnamed credential”
}
}
}
],
“connections”: {},
“pinData”: {},
“meta”: {
“instanceId”: “88d65724a11784faa6254987eb06166bbf5a8d0ff81a3f1180646c5547b0cdbb”
}
}

The ideal outcome is whenever I get an email response, the flow is triggered and I can have an AI Agent determine if I should respond to it, and if so, respond in the right way and book calls.

Hey @George2 ! Welcome to the forum. Here’s how I would go about it.

1. Instantly API docs
   Instantly API Documentation
   

   
   
   You grab the cURL from there

2. HTTP Node you can import the curl command here.
   

   

3. To make it more secure and reuse it, you can add the api key as Generic Header Auth
   HTTP Request credentials | n8n Docs
   

   
   
   
   
   
   
   

4. Once you have one call working, just repeat for your specific API call.

Hope this helps. Please consider marking this post as the solution.
