Lemlist

Lemlist API integration with managed OAuth. Sales automation and cold outreach platform. Use this skill when users want to manage campaigns, leads, activities, schedules, or unsubscribes in Lemlist. For other third party apps, use the api-gateway skill (https://clawhub.ai/byungkyu/api-gateway).

Security Scan

The skill is an instruction-only Lemlist integration that proxies requests through Maton's gateway and only requires a single MATON_API_KEY; functionality, requested variables, and instructions are internally consistent, but you must trust the Maton service which will see OAuth tokens and proxied data.

Purpose & Capability

The name/description say it's a Lemlist integration using managed OAuth. The only required environment variable is MATON_API_KEY, which matches the SKILL.md examples that call Maton endpoints (gateway.maton.ai and ctrl.maton.ai). No unrelated binaries or credentials are requested, so the declared requirements are proportionate to the stated purpose.

Instruction Scope

The runtime instructions are limited to calling Maton-managed endpoints (gateway.maton.ai and ctrl.maton.ai) and using MATON_API_KEY; they do not instruct reading arbitrary local files or other environment variables. Important caveat: all API traffic is proxied through Maton, so Maton will receive request/response data and manage the OAuth tokens — that is expected for this design but is a meaningful data-flow consideration the user must accept.

Install Mechanism

There is no install spec and no code files to be written or executed on disk (instruction-only). This minimizes install-time risk.

Credentials

Only one env var (MATON_API_KEY) is required and is used consistently in examples. This single credential is reasonable for a gateway/proxy design. Note: the skill metadata doesn't mark a 'primary' credential even though MATON_API_KEY is effectively the main secret — minor metadata mismatch but not a functional problem. The key grants Maton-wide access to proxied Lemlist operations, so it should be treated as a high-value secret.

Persistence & Privilege

The skill does not request always:true and is user-invocable only. It does not declare any persistent system-wide changes or modifications to other skills' configuration.

Assessment

This skill is coherent and appears to do what it says, but it routes all Lemlist operations through Maton's gateway. Before installing: confirm you trust maton.ai (no homepage/source repo is provided in the registry metadata), treat MATON_API_KEY as a high-privilege secret (store it securely and rotate if needed), review Maton's privacy/security docs to understand token storage and access, and consider whether you prefer giving direct Lemlist API credentials to a trusted integration instead of a third-party proxy. If you have concerns, ask the publisher for a source repository or independent documentation and validate the ctrl.maton.ai/gateway.maton.ai endpoints and their privacy/security posture.

Access the Lemlist API with managed OAuth authentication. Manage campaigns, leads, activities, schedules, sequences, and unsubscribes for sales automation and cold outreach.

Quick Start

# List campaigns
python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://gateway.maton.ai/lemlist/api/campaigns')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF

Base URL

https://gateway.maton.ai/lemlist/api/{resource}

Replace {resource} with the actual Lemlist API endpoint path. The gateway proxies requests to api.lemlist.com/api and automatically injects your OAuth token.

Authentication

All requests require the Maton API key in the Authorization header:

Authorization: Bearer $MATON_API_KEY

Environment Variable: Set your API key as MATON_API_KEY:

export MATON_API_KEY="YOUR_API_KEY"

Getting Your API Key

1. Sign in or create an account at maton.ai
2. Go to maton.ai/settings
3. Copy your API key

Connection Management

Manage your Lemlist OAuth connections at https://ctrl.maton.ai.

List Connections

python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://ctrl.maton.ai/connections?app=lemlist&status=ACTIVE')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF

Create Connection

python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
data = json.dumps({'app': 'lemlist'}).encode()
req = urllib.request.Request('https://ctrl.maton.ai/connections', data=data, method='POST')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
req.add_header('Content-Type', 'application/json')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF

Get Connection

python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://ctrl.maton.ai/connections/{connection_id}')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF

Response:

{
  "connection": {
    "connection_id": "3ecf268f-42ad-40cc-b77a-25e020fbf591",

    "url": "https://connect.maton.ai/?session_token=...",
    "app": "lemlist",
    "metadata": {}
  }
}

Open the returned url in a browser to complete OAuth authorization.

Delete Connection

python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://ctrl.maton.ai/connections/{connection_id}', method='DELETE')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF

Specifying Connection

If you have multiple Lemlist connections, specify which one to use with the Maton-Connection header:

python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://gateway.maton.ai/lemlist/api/campaigns')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
req.add_header('Maton-Connection', '3ecf268f-42ad-40cc-b77a-25e020fbf591')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF

If omitted, the gateway uses the default (oldest) active connection.

Code Examples

JavaScript - List Campaigns

const response = await fetch(
  'https://gateway.maton.ai/lemlist/api/campaigns',
  {
    headers: {
      'Authorization': `Bearer ${process.env.MATON_API_KEY}`
    }
  }
);
const campaigns = await response.json();
console.log(campaigns);

Python - List Campaigns

import os
import requests

response = requests.get(
    'https://gateway.maton.ai/lemlist/api/campaigns',
    headers={'Authorization': f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}'}
)
campaigns = response.json()
for campaign in campaigns:
    print(f"{campaign['name']}: {campaign['_id']}")

Python - Create Campaign and Add Lead

import os
import requests

headers = {'Authorization': f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}'}
base_url = 'https://gateway.maton.ai/lemlist/api'

# Create campaign
campaign_response = requests.post(
    f'{base_url}/campaigns',
    headers=headers,
    json={'name': 'Q1 Outreach'}
)
campaign = campaign_response.json()
print(f"Created campaign: {campaign['_id']}")

# Add lead to campaign
lead_response = requests.post(
    f'{base_url}/campaigns/{campaign["_id"]}/leads',
    headers=headers,
    json={
        'email': '[e-mail]',
        'firstName': 'John',
        'lastName': 'Doe',
        'companyName': 'Acme Corp'
    }
)
lead = lead_response.json()
print(f"Added lead: {lead['_id']}")

Notes

• Campaign IDs start with cam_
• Lead IDs start with lea_
• Schedule IDs start with skd_
• Sequence IDs start with seq_
• Team IDs start with tea_
• User IDs start with usr_
• Campaigns cannot be deleted via API (only paused)
• When creating a campaign, an empty sequence and default schedule are automatically added
• Lead emails are used as identifiers for lead operations
• IMPORTANT: When using curl commands, use curl -g when URLs contain brackets to disable glob parsing
• IMPORTANT: When piping curl output to jq, environment variables may not expand correctly. Use Python examples instead.

Rate Limits

Operation	Limit
API calls	20 per 2 seconds per API key

When rate limited, implement exponential backoff for retries.

Error Handling

Status	Meaning
400	Bad request or missing Lemlist connection
401	Invalid or missing Maton API key
404	Resource not found
405	Method not allowed
422	Validation error
429	Rate limited
4xx/5xx	Passthrough error from Lemlist API

Troubleshooting: API Key Issues

1. Check that the MATON_API_KEY environment variable is set:

echo $MATON_API_KEY

2. Verify the API key is valid by listing connections:

python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://ctrl.maton.ai/connections')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF

Troubleshooting: Invalid App Name

1. Ensure your URL path starts with lemlist. For example:

• Correct: https://gateway.maton.ai/lemlist/api/campaigns
• Incorrect: https://gateway.maton.ai/api/campaigns
