1. Setting Up Your API Import
Start in AI Studio:
Create a campaign in AI Studio.
Add Contacts via API:
Click the Actions button (top right), select Add Contacts, and choose Monitor from API request as the import source.
Get Your Campaign API Details:
A modal will appear, showing you the exact JSON request format and the unique campaign ID you’ll need for your requests.
Tip: Use the campaign ID shown in the modal—each campaign has its own.
Create & Use an API Key:
To authenticate your API requests, generate an API key in Autobound under Settings > API. Add this key to your API requests.
2. Parameters & Data Fields
You can provide a range of parameters in your API request to control what data is imported and used for content generation. Just pass them in under data.
Example Request:
curl --request POST \
--url
"https://api.autobound.ai/api/workflows/campaigns/9c4dc492-391c-472c-b6b4-b31dd4ec98ef/execute/" \
--header "Content-Type: application/json" \
--header "X-API-KEY: YOUR-API-KEY-HERE" \
--data '{
"contactEmail": "johndoe@example.com",
“contactName”: “John”,
“contactCompanySize”: 10000
}'
In the next step, we'll show you how to map those inputs to columns in your table.
3. Mapping Key Value Pairs to Columns
After the import, click the API/source icon in the far left of your Prospects table to view all raw data sent for that contact.
Hover over any piece of raw metadata and click Add as column.
This creates a new column in your campaign table. Any future imports with this field will be mapped automatically.

4. Table and Row Behavior
Row Organization: Imported prospects appear immediately in the Prospects Tab, organized in a lookup → action → export flow.
Error States: If data is missing or invalid, error states display in red with tooltips for guidance.
Action Processing: Cells linked to insights or content only process if required data is present. If auto-run is off, you’ll need to manually trigger actions.
Failed Imports & Debugging: Inline errors in cells and logs help you troubleshoot and fix issues quickly.
