Waarom zou je deze gids vertrouwen?
I have run koude e-mail campaigns on Instantly for two years across four client accounts.
Every screen, setting, and number below comes from that hands-on work.
Instantly is a cold email outreach tool built for volume and deliverability at the same time.
Most users connect one inbox, blast a list, and wonder why replies never arrive.
Deze handleiding laat je zien hoe je Direct gebruiken AI properly, feature by feature.
It covers the core features first, then the advanced features most people never open.
Step by step, with screenshots and the settings I actually use.
Directe AI-handleiding
This tutorial walks through setup, warm up, lead finder, campaigns, and rapportage in order.
Direct AI
Send cold emails at real scale without wrecking your domains. Instantly gives you unlimited email accounts, unlimited email warmups, and a B2B lead finder in one tool. Plans start at $30/month.
Aan de slag met Instantly AI
Do this one-time setup before you touch any campaign.
It takes about 20 minutes, plus warm-up time.
Here is what the platform looks like in daily use:
Laten we nu elke stap eens doornemen.
Stap 1: Maak uw account aan
Go to the Instantly website and click Sign Up.
You can create a free account with an email and password.
Free access lets you explore before you pay anything.
You cannot send emails yet, but you can tour every screen.
✓ Controlepunt: Check your inbox for the confirmation email.
Stap 2: Verbind je e-mailaccounts
Open Email Accounts and click Add New Account.
Gmail and Microsoft connect through OAuth in about 30 seconds.
Any other provider needs you to enable IMAP first, then paste SMTP details.
Buy secondary domains for outreach and keep your main bedrijf domain clean.
Zo ziet het eruit:
✓ Controlepunt: Each connected account shows a green status dot.
Step 3: Turn On Warm-up and Set Sending Limits
Click the flame icon next to every account to start email opwarming.
Set a daily cap of 30 to 50 emails per inbox.
Add custom tracking domains under settings so links point to your own domain.
✅ Klaar: Your tech stack is live and ready for any feature below.
Hoe gebruik je Instantly AI Unlimited Email Accounts?
Onbeperkt aantal e-mailaccounts lets you connect unlimited email accounts so volume spreads safely across many mailboxes.
Sending 1,000 cold emails from one inbox is the fastest way to get blocked. Splitting email sending across mailboxes is what keeps your domains alive.
Hieronder leggen we stap voor stap uit hoe je het gebruikt.
Step 1: Open the Email Accounts Tab
Click Email Accounts in the left sidebar.
You will see every mailbox you have already added.
Step 2: Add Accounts in Bulk
Click Add New, then pick Bulk Import for Google or Microsoft.
Paste your credentials as a CSV and Instantly connects them together.
Zo ziet het eruit:
✓ Controlepunt: Every new mailbox appears in the list with a connected label.
Step 3: Group Accounts by Campaign
Tag mailboxes by domain so you can assign them quickly later.
✅ Resultaat: You have a sending pool instead of one fragile inbox.
💡 Pro-tip: Keep three to five mailboxes per domain, never more.
Hoe gebruik je Instantly AI Smart Warm-up & Inbox Rotation?
Slimme warming-up & inboxrotatie protects your sender reputation and spreads sends across every mailbox automatically.
Warming up an email domain builds trust with providers before real volume starts.
Hieronder leggen we stap voor stap uit hoe je het gebruikt.
Step 1: Enable the Warmup Feature
Click the flame icon on each account to switch warmup mode on.
Instantly then trades mail with other user accounts to create real engagement.
Step 2: Adjust Your Warmup Settings
Open warmup settings and raise the daily ramp slowly.
I start at 10 messages and increase by five each day.
Zo ziet het eruit:
✓ Controlepunt: Warmup emails start appearing in a dedicated folder inside your mailbox.
Step 3: Enable Inbox Rotation
Assign several mailboxes to one campaign so Instantly rotates sends between them.
✅ Resultaat: Your accounts land in the primary tab instead of spam.
💡 Pro-tip: Run warm up for 20 to 30 days before heavy sending.
Hoe gebruik je de AI-gestuurde leadfinder van Instantly?
AI-gestuurde leadfinder helps you find and enrich prospects without paying for a separate database tool.
Instantly ships a B2B database of more than 160 million verified contacts.
Hieronder leggen we stap voor stap uit hoe je het gebruikt.
Stap 1: Open Lead Finder
Click Leads, then Find Leads to open the search panel.
Stap 2: Geavanceerde filters toepassen
Filter by job titles, headcount, industry, technology, and location.
Narrow until the list matches your target audience, not just any company.
Zo ziet het eruit:
✓ Controlepunt: Each row shows a verified badge next to the email address.
Step 3: Enrich and Export
Select your rows and click Enrich to pull verified contact details.
✅ Resultaat: You have a clean list you can push straight into a campaign.
💡 Pro-tip: Save every filter set as a template to reuse next month.
How to Use Instantly AI Intuitive Campaign Builder
Intuïtieve campagne Bouwer turns a raw list into a scheduled sequence with follow ups and testing.
This is where most of your results are won or lost.
Hieronder leggen we stap voor stap uit hoe je het gebruikt.
Stap 1: Een nieuwe campagne aanmaken
Simply click Campaigns, then New Campaign, and name it clearly.
Start adding leads by uploading a CSV or importing from lead finder.
You can also duplicate proven campaigns instantly and swap the audience.
Step 2: Write the Sequence
Write a short first email, then two or three follow up emails.
Set the gap between steps to three or four business days.
Zo ziet het eruit:
✓ Controlepunt: The campaign preview shows every step with its delay in days.
Stap 3: Plannen en lanceren
Match the schedule to your prospect’s timezone, then assign your sending accounts.
✅ Resultaat: Your sequence runs on autopilot while you work on offers.
💡 Pro-tip: Add two subject lines per step so Instantly A/B tests them.
Hoe je direct hyperpersonalisatie met AI kunt gebruiken
Hyperpersonalisatie met AI writes opening lines that sound researched instead of copied and pasted.
Personalization features are the difference between a 2% and a 8% reply rate.
Hieronder leggen we stap voor stap uit hoe je het gebruikt.
Step 1: Add Custom Variables
Map CSV columns to variables like company, role, or recent news.
Step 2: Use Instantly Copilot
Open de AI-assistent and describe your offer and target audience.
Copilot drafts a full sequence you can edit line by line.
Zo ziet het eruit:
✓ Controlepunt: The preview pane shows a different opener for each lead you scroll.
Step 3: Add Spin Syntax
Wrap alternate phrasings in braces so every send looks slightly different.
✅ Resultaat: Every prospect reads an email that feels written for them.
💡 Pro-tip: Keep AI output under 90 words or reply rates drop.
Hoe gebruik je Instantly AI Automated CRM?
Geautomatiseerd CRM tracks deals from first reply to closed without a second subscription.
Instantly includes customer relationship management, so replies do not die in an inbox.
Hieronder leggen we stap voor stap uit hoe je het gebruikt.
Step 1: Open Unibox
Unibox is the unified inbox that collects all the replies in one place.
AI sorts each message by sentiment, so interested leads surface first.
Step 2: Move Leads Through Stages
Drag a lead into Interested, Ontmoeting Booked, or Won.
Managing replies this way keeps your pipeline honest.
Zo ziet het eruit:
✓ Controlepunt: Your pipeline board shows counts under every stage.
Step 3: Set Up the AI Reply Agent
Let the agent draft contextual answers within five minutes of a reply.
✅ Resultaat: You can manage leads and forecast revenue from one screen.
💡 Pro-tip: Steady lead management turns one reply into stronger relationships, so review AI drafts for your first two weeks.
How to Use Instantly AI Deliverability Network
Leveringsnetwerk shows whether your mail actually reaches the primary inbox before you scale.
Open rates mean nothing if half your sends land in spam.
Hieronder leggen we stap voor stap uit hoe je het gebruikt.
Step 1: Run a Placement Test
Open Deliverability and start a test across seeded provider accounts.
Step 2: Read the Report
Check the split between primary, promotions, and spam placement.
Aim for over 80% primary placement before increasing volume.
Zo ziet het eruit:
✓ Controlepunt: The report shows a placement score for each provider tested.
Step 3: Fix DNS Records
Confirm SPF, DKIM, and DMARC records exist on every sending domain.
✅ Resultaat: You know exactly where your mail lands before spending budget.
💡 Pro-tip: Retest monthly, since provider filters change without any warning.
Hoe gebruik je Instantly AI-campagneanalyses?
Campagneanalyses tells you which step, subject, and offer is doing the actual work.
Gegevens driven decisions beat gut feeling in every account I have managed.
Hieronder leggen we stap voor stap uit hoe je het gebruikt.
Stap 1: Open het tabblad Analyse.
Select a campaign and open Analytics to see performance by step.
Step 2: Compare the Core Numbers
Track open rates, reply rate, click through rates, and bounces together.
Aim for 40 to 60% opens and 5% or higher replies.
Zo ziet het eruit:
✓ Controlepunt: The step-level table shows response rates for each email in the sequence.
Step 3: Cut and Rewrite
Pause any step under a 2% reply rate and rewrite it.
✅ Resultaat: You have detailed information to make an informed decision every week.
💡 Pro-tip: Judge a test only after 300 sends per variant.
How to Use Instantly AI Personalize Leads with AI Prompts
Personaliseer leads met AI-prompts rewrites a whole list at once instead of one lead at a time.
This is the feature that saves me the most hours each month.
Hieronder leggen we stap voor stap uit hoe je het gebruikt.
Step 1: Select Your List
Open a lead list and select the rows you want enriched.
Step 2: Write the Prompt
Tell the AI what to produce, such as a one-line company summary.
Reference existing columns so output stays grounded in real data.
Zo ziet het eruit:
✓ Controlepunt: A new column appears with generated tekst for every selected lead.
Step 3: Run and Review
Run the prompt, then spot-check twenty rows before you launch.
✅ Resultaat: Your whole list carries custom copy without manual research.

Directe AI-probleemoplossing
Probleem: E-mails komen in de spamfolder terecht.
Oorzaak: Missing DNS records or a domain that never finished warmup.
Repareren: Check SPF, DKIM, and DMARC, then pause sending emails for a week.
Restart warm up and run a placement test before you cv.
