Feed social leads into Instantly campaigns
The Buska Instantly integration turns every social buying signal on Reddit, Twitter / X, LinkedIn, Hacker News, Quora, YouTube, and 30+ other platforms into a personalized cold email through Instantly. Buska detects the signal at its next scan, Instantly sends the email. Each lead arrives with social context (the original post, the platform, the intent score 0 to 100, the keyword match) so your emails reference the prospect's actual needs, not generic templates. Reply rates tend to run meaningfully higher than a cold baseline with proper Buska context. Setup takes 5 minutes. The Buska Instantly integration is included from the Growth plan.

How to set up Buska + Instantly
Connect Instantly to Buska
Go to Buska Settings > Integrations > Instantly and add your Instantly API key from your Instantly account settings.
Select your default Instantly campaign
Choose which Instantly campaign new social leads should enter by default. You can set different campaigns for different intent types, platforms, or score ranges. Most teams start with 1 catch-all campaign and split into specialized sequences after 2 to 3 weeks of data.
Set qualification rules
Filter by intent score threshold (most teams use 70 out of 100), platforms, keywords, and language. Only leads matching every criterion get added to Instantly, keeping your sending reputation clean.
Map Buska fields to Instantly variables
Map Buska data to Instantly custom variables: `{{socialPost}}`, `{{platform}}`, `{{intentScore}}`, `{{keywordMatch}}`. Use them in your email template for hyper-personalized openers like *"Saw your Reddit post about {{keywordMatch}}..."*.
Send personalized emails at scale
Each lead enters Instantly with their social context. Instantly handles deliverability warming, send-time optimization, reply detection, and inbox rotation across unlimited sending accounts on the Hypergrowth plan at $94 per month.
Iterate on what works
After 2 weeks, look at which intent signals produced the highest reply rates in Instantly analytics. Drop noise, double down on producers. Most teams ship 3 to 5 specialized Instantly campaigns by week 4.
Real use cases with Instantly
Scale warm outreach
Instead of cold lists, Instantly sends emails to people who already expressed a need publicly. Open rates and reply rates both tend to run meaningfully higher with Buska context. Same sending infrastructure, better outcomes because the targeting is tight.
Multi-campaign routing by intent
Active demand signals (*"need this now"*) go to a direct pitch Instantly campaign you configure to send as soon as possible after the lead arrives. Pain signals (*"frustrated with..."*) go to an empathy-first sequence that leads with a free audit. Question signals (*"how do I..."*) enter an educational drip with case studies over 2 weeks.
Competitive displacement campaign
Buska detects public competitor frustration. The lead enters an Instantly 'Competitive Switch' campaign with a personalized migration offer and white-glove onboarding promise.
Post-funding outreach
Buska flags funding announcements on LinkedIn, Twitter / X, and Hacker News. Founders enter a post-funding Instantly campaign offering stack rebuilding consultation while the budget is still fresh.
