Connect Twain to Lemlist

Learn how to connect Twain to Lemlist using the native integration — export leads directly to a Lemlist campaign, map Twain's copy as variables, and preview before launch.

Step 1: Create a Campaign in Lemlist

  • In Lemlist, click Create Campaign and give it a name (e.g., "Twain Test").

  • Select Manually created and choose Email as the campaign type.

Step 2: Export from Twain

  • In Twain, open the campaign with messaging ready to go.

  • Click Export Leads and select Lemlist.

  • If this is your first time: you'll be prompted to enter your API key. Have it ready.

Step 3: Select Your Campaign and Export

  • Select the Lemlist campaign you just created.

  • Confirm the steps and custom variable names look correct, then click Export Leads.

Step 4: Verify Leads in Lemlist

  • In Lemlist, open the campaign and navigate to Leads to confirm they've been pushed across.

Step 5: Build the Sequence Using Twain Variables

  • Go to the Sequence tab in your Lemlist campaign.

  • For each step, click the personalization brackets and select the matching Twain variable (e.g., select subject for the subject line, Step 1 for the first email body).

  • Repeat for Step 2 and Step 3.

  • Add your email signature and connect your mailbox to complete the setup.

Step 6: Preview and Launch

  • Click Preview to see exactly how each email will look — Lemlist shows both desktop and mobile views.

  • Once everything looks right, launch the campaign.

💡 Tips

  • Your API key only needs to be entered once — Twain saves it for future exports.

  • The campaign must already exist in Lemlist before exporting from Twain.

  • Use the desktop/mobile preview in Lemlist to catch formatting issues before launch.
