Ingest API

Send contacts and events from anything that can make a request.

The Ingest API is the connector for everything else. You send contacts and events straight into your audience in the Instasent format, from your own backend, a script, a warehouse job or any tool that can make an HTTP request. It is the same door the webhook platforms use, opened directly — no intermediary, no waiting for someone to build a connector for the thing you already run.

What it brings in

Real time

  • Receives contacts and events in real time

    An inbound API that accepts contacts and events in the Instasent format.

  • Triggers automations

    Real-time events can start a flow the moment they arrive.

  • Feeds your segments

    Use the contact data and the events to segment your audience.

How you connect it

This one runs the other way round. Instasent creates the data source and hands you the credentials — project UID, secret token and data source ID — and you finish the connection inside Ingest API.

  1. 1

    In Instasent, add Ingest API and give the connection a name.

  2. 2

    Copy the credentials Instasent shows you.

  3. 3

    Install the Instasent app in Ingest API and paste them there.

  4. 4

    Data starts arriving as soon as Ingest API sends the first one.

Once it's connected

Segment by real behaviour

What they bought, when they last bought, what they looked at and never came back to. The segment updates itself as new data arrives.

Send your first campaign

Message a segment directly, with RCS where the phone supports it and SMS everywhere else.

Trigger automations from events

An abandoned cart, a purchase, a form submission — the event arrives and the flow starts.

Ask Iris about it

Iris reads the data these connectors bring in, answers questions about your audience and prepares the campaign. You're the one who sends it.

Consent comes across with the contact

Marketing preferences are carried over with one rule: only an active opt-out becomes a refusal. Somebody who never said anything arrives with no preference set, not as a yes. It's the conservative reading, and it's the one that keeps you compliant.
