Partnership
Instantly + Tuco AI.

Works with Instantly webhooks + Zapier / Make / n8n
How It Works
From positive reply to iMessage in 60 seconds.
Prospect replies to your cold email
Instantly detects a positive reply and fires a webhook with the lead data, reply content, and campaign info.
Webhook triggers your automation
Zapier, Make, or n8n catches the webhook, filters for positive sentiment, and formats the iMessage payload.
iMessage lands in under 60 seconds
Tuco AI sends a personalized iMessage to the prospect's phone. They see it immediately. You book the meeting.
Use Cases
Every positive reply deserves a fast follow-up.
📧
Warm Reply Follow-Up
Prospect says "sure, let's chat" — they get an iMessage with your Calendly link within a minute. No more email back-and-forth to find a time.
🔥
Hot Lead Fast Lane
Prospect asks about pricing or wants a demo? Skip the email chain. Hit them on iMessage where they'll actually see it and respond in 90 seconds.
🔄
Stale Reply Recovery
Prospect replied 2 days ago but went silent on email? Fire an iMessage check-in. "Hey, still want to grab that call?" — works 3x better than a follow-up email.
📅
Meeting Confirmation
Prospect books a call from your email? Confirm it via iMessage. No-show rates drop by 35% when you confirm on a channel they actually check.

One webhook. One API call. Done.

FAQ
Questions. Answered.
How does the Instantly to iMessage workflow actually work?
When a prospect replies positively to your Instantly campaign, Instantly fires a webhook. That webhook hits Zapier, Make, or n8n, which calls the Tuco AI API to send an iMessage to the prospect's phone number. The whole thing takes under 60 seconds from reply to iMessage delivered.
Do I need to change anything in my Instantly setup?
Not much. You just need to enable webhooks on your Instantly campaign and point them at your automation tool (Zapier, Make, or n8n). Your email sequences, warmup settings, and sending accounts stay exactly the same.
What if the prospect doesn't have an iPhone?
Tuco AI detects the device type before sending. If the recipient isn't on iMessage, you can configure a fallback to SMS or skip the message entirely. Most B2B prospects in the US are on iPhone, so hit rates are high.
How much does this cost on top of my Instantly subscription?
Instantly starts at $30/mo for their Growth plan. Tuco AI pricing is based on message volume. The automation layer (Zapier/Make) has free tiers that cover most cold email volumes. Total cost for most agencies is under $100/mo for the full pipeline.
Can I personalize the iMessage based on the email reply content?
Yes. The webhook payload from Instantly includes the reply text, lead data, and campaign info. You can use any of those fields to personalize the iMessage through your automation tool before it hits the Tuco API.
How fast does the iMessage go out after a positive reply?
Under 60 seconds in most cases. The webhook fires instantly when the reply hits your inbox, the automation tool processes it in milliseconds, and Tuco delivers the iMessage right away. Speed is the whole point — you want to catch them while they're still thinking about you.
