What it does when it runs

Migrate an EmailBison sending workflow onto the ColdIQ marketplace. ColdIQ does NOT resell EmailBison, so this skill routes campaign/lead/sequence/reply actions to ColdIQ's resold Instantly (or Lemlist) endpoints and flags where semantics differ. Use when porting an EmailBison campaign to the ColdIQ marketplace, loading leads, creating a campaign, or pulling reply analytics for a former EmailBison setup. Triggers on "EmailBison", "migrate EmailBison", "load campaign into EmailBison", "send via EmailBison", "campaign analytics". Do NOT use for native Instantly work (use instantly-api), Lemlist-first work, copywriting (see cold-email-copy), or enrichment (see contact-enrichment).

EmailBison → ColdIQ (Instantly/Lemlist)

Note (important): ColdIQ does not resell EmailBison. There is no /v1/emailbison/* group. This skill maps every EmailBison campaign action to the closest ColdIQ-resold sender — Instantly by default (or Lemlist). Semantics differ: EmailBison merge tags are {FIRST_NAME} (caps, single brace) vs Instantly {{firstName}}; schedule/sequence field names differ. Re-map fields when migrating.

ColdIQ Marketplace Endpoints (Instantly substitution)

EmailBison task	Method	Path	Credits	Endpoint ID	Notes
Create campaign	POST	`/v1/instantly/campaigns`	free	`instantly.campaigns.create`	was `POST /api/campaigns`
Update settings	PATCH	`/v1/instantly/campaigns/{id}`	free	`instantly.campaigns.patch`	was `/update`
Add leads (single)	POST	`/v1/instantly/leads`	free	`instantly.leads.create`	use `campaign`, not `campaign_id`
Add leads (bulk)	POST	`/v1/instantly/leads/add`	free	`instantly.leads.add`	was `/bulk/csv`
Campaign stats	GET	`/v1/instantly/campaigns/analytics`	free	`instantly.campaigns.analytics`	was `POST /stats`
Daily chart stats	GET	`/v1/instantly/campaigns/analytics/daily`	free	`instantly.campaigns.analytics.daily`	was `/line-area-chart-stats`
Pause campaign	POST	`/v1/instantly/campaigns/{id}/pause`	free	`instantly.campaigns.pause`	was `/pause`
Activate campaign	POST	`/v1/instantly/campaigns/{id}/activate`	free	`instantly.campaigns.activate`	was `/resume`

Lemlist is the alternative substitution when a client runs Lemlist: lemlist.campaigns.create, lemlist.campaigns.leads.create, lemlist.campaigns.start, lemlist.campaigns.stats.

Migration mapping (EmailBison → Instantly)

EmailBison concept	Instantly equivalent
`{FIRST_NAME}` merge tag	`{{firstName}}`
`{COMPANY}`	`{{companyName}}`
`POST /api/campaigns` (name)	`POST /v1/instantly/campaigns` (name + settings)
`POST /api/campaigns/{id}/schedule`	`campaign_schedule` inside campaign create/patch
`POST /api/campaigns/{id}/sequence-steps`	`sequences[].steps[]` inside campaign create
`POST /api/leads/bulk/csv`	`POST /v1/instantly/leads/add` (JSON, not CSV)
`GET /api/campaigns/{id}/replies`	use the master-inbox / lead reply views (see resources/analytics.md)
`max_emails_per_day: 700`, `plain_text: true`, `open_tracking: false`	ColdIQ Instantly defaults (see instantly-api)

Create a campaign (substituted)

Create with ColdIQ defaults + sequences (re-map merge tags first). → POST /v1/instantly/campaigns · free · instantly.campaigns.create
Load leads (JSON, not CSV upload). → POST /v1/instantly/leads/add · free · instantly.leads.add
Pull stats. → GET /v1/instantly/campaigns/analytics · free · instantly.campaigns.analytics

For reply handling, sentiment marking, and the analytics field reference, see resources/analytics.md.

Caveats

No 1:1 reply endpoint parity. EmailBison's per-reply sentiment marking (mark-as-interested / mark-as-automated) maps to Instantly's lead interest-status update (POST /v1/instantly/leads/update-interest-status), not a per-reply call.
Schedules/sequences are nested in Instantly's campaign object, not separate endpoints.
Confirm the actual target sender before migrating — some teams move to Lemlist instead of Instantly.
