# Instantly CI Integration
## Overview
Set up CI/CD pipelines for Instantly API v2 integrations. Covers GitHub Actions workflows for testing against the Instantly mock server, validating API key scopes, and deploying webhook receivers. Uses the mock server at `https://developer.instantly.ai/_mock/api/v2/` so CI runs don't send real emails or consume production API limits.
## Prerequisites
- GitHub repository with Instantly integration code
- `INSTANTLY_API_KEY` secret in GitHub repo settings (for production tests)
- Node.js 18+ or Python 3.10+ in the project
## Instructions
### Step 1: GitHub Actions Workflow
```yaml
# .github/workflows/instantly-ci.yml
name: Instantly Integration CI
on:
push:
branches: [main, develop]
pull_request:
branches: [main]
env:
INSTANTLY_USE_MOCK: "true"
INSTANTLY_BASE_URL: "https://developer.instantly.ai/_mock/api/v2"
jobs:
test:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v4
- uses: actions/setup-node@v4
with:
node-version: "20"
cache: "npm"
- run: npm ci
- name: Type check
run: npx tsc --noEmit
- name: Lint
run: npx eslint src/ --ext .ts
- name: Unit tests (mock server)
run: npx vitest run --reporter=verbose
env:
INSTANTLY_API_KEY: "mock-key-for-ci"
INSTANTLY_USE_MOCK: "true"
- name: Validate API client types
run: npx tsx scripts/validate-types.ts
integration-test:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
needs: test
if: github.ref == 'refs/heads/main'
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v4
- uses: actions/setup-node@v4
with:
node-version: "20"
cache: "npm"
- run: npm ci
- name: Integration tests (live API, read-only)
run: npx vitest run tests/integration/ --reporter=verbose
env:
INSTANTLY_API_KEY: ${{ secrets.INSTANTLY_API_KEY }}
INSTANTLY_BASE_URL: "https://api.instantly.ai/api/v2"
```
### Step 2: API Scope Validation Script
```typescript
// scripts/validate-types.ts
// Verifies the API client types match expected Instantly v2 schema
import { InstantlyClient } from "../src/instantly/client";
async function validateApiAccess() {
const client = new InstantlyClient();
// Validate read-only operations work
const campaigns = await client.getCampaigns({ limit: 1 });
console.log("campaigns: OK");
const accounts = await client.getAccounts({ limit: 1 });
console.log("accounts: OK");
console.log("All API validations passed");
}
validateApiAccess().catch((err) => {
console.error("Validation failed:", err.message);
process.exit(1);
});
```
### Step 3: Integration Test Suite
```typescript
// tests/integration/instantly.test.ts
import { describe, it, expect } from "vitest";
import { InstantlyClient } from "../../src/instantly/client";
const client = new InstantlyClient();
describe("Instantly API v2 Integration", () => {
it("should authenticate and list campaigns", async () => {
const campaigns = await client.getCampaigns({ limit: 5 });
expect(Array.isArray(campaigns)).toBe(true);
});
it("should list email accounts", async () => {
const accounts = await client.getAccounts({ limit: 5 });
expect(Array.isArray(accounts)).toBe(true);
});
it("should fetch campaign analytics", async () => {
const campaigns = await client.getCampaigns({ limit: 1 });
if (campaigns.length > 0) {
const analytics = await client.getCampaignAnalytics([campaigns[0].id]);
expect(Array.isArray(analytics)).toBe(true);
}
});
it("should handle 401 on invalid key", async () => {
const badClient = new InstantlyClient({ apiKey: "invalid-key" });
await expect(badClient.getCampaigns({ limit: 1 })).rejects.toThrow();
});
it("should create and delete a lead list", async () => {
const list = await client.request<{ id: string }>("/lead-lists", {
method: "POST",
body: JSON.stringify({ name: `ci-test-${Date.now()}` }),
});
expect(list.id).toBeDefined();
await client.request(`/lead-lists/${list.id}`, { method: "DELETE" });
});
});
```
### Step 4: Deployment Workflow
```yaml
# .github/workflows/deploy.yml
name: Deploy Instantly Integration
on:
push:
branches: [main]
jobs:
deploy:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
needs: test
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v4
- uses: actions/setup-node@v4
with:
node-version: "20"
- run: npm ci && npm run build
- name: Deploy webhook receiver
uses: google-github-actions/deploy-cloudrun@v2
with:
service: instantly-webhooks
region: us-central1
image: gcr.io/${{ secrets.GCP_PROJECT }}/instantly-webhooks
env_vars: |
INSTANTLY_API_KEY=${{ secrets.INSTANTLY_API_KEY }}
INSTANTLY_WEBHOOK_SECRET=${{ secrets.INSTANTLY_WEBHOOK_SECRET }}
- name: Verify deployment
run: |
curl -s -o /dev/null -w "%{http_code}" \
https://instantly-webhooks-abc123.run.app/health | \
grep -q "200" && echo "Deploy OK" || exit 1
```
### Step 5: Pre-Commit Hook
```bash
#!/bin/bash
# .husky/pre-commit
set -euo pipefail
# Prevent committing API keys
if grep -rn "Bearer [a-zA-Z0-9_-]\{20,\}" src/ --include="*.ts" --include="*.js" 2>/dev/null; then
echo "ERROR: Possible API key found in source code"
exit 1
fi
# Type check
npx tsc --noEmit
# Run unit tests
npx vitest run --reporter=dot
```
## Error Handling
| Error | Cause | Solution |
|-------|-------|----------|
| CI fails on mock server | Mock schema doesn't match code | Update types to match v2 schema |
| Integration tests `401` | Secret not set in GitHub | Add `INSTANTLY_API_KEY` to repo secrets |
| Rate limited in CI | Too many parallel runs | Use mock server for PR checks |
| Deploy fails | Missing env vars | Check secrets are set in deployment target |
