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 for email and LinkedIn steps, and preview before launch.

Step 1: Choose or create a campaign in Lemlist (optional)

  • You can export into an existing Lemlist campaign, or let Twain create a new one during export (see Step 3).

  • If you create it yourself, click Create Campaign, give it a name and select Manually created.

Step 2: Export from Twain

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

  • Click Export (or Export Leads), then choose Lemlist. If it isn't listed directly, click More first.

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

Step 3: Choose the campaign and check the variables

  • Pick an existing campaign under Existing, or switch to New campaign and enter a name to have Twain create it in Lemlist.

  • Check the variable names for each step. Twain names them by channel, e.g. Email 1, Connect 2, LinkedIn 3, plus Subject 1 for the subject line.

  • 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: Finish the setup in Lemlist

  • If Twain created the campaign: the email and LinkedIn steps are already in place, with the Twain variables inserted. Check the steps in the Sequence tab and the sending schedule.

  • If you exported into an existing campaign: go to the Sequence tab. For each step, click the personalization brackets and select the matching Twain variable (e.g. Subject 1 for the subject line, Email 1 for the first email body).

  • In both cases, add your email signature and connect your mailbox.

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.

  • Lemlist works with email and LinkedIn steps. Each lead needs an email address or a LinkedIn URL.

  • Turn on Skip existing leads to avoid exporting leads that are already in the Lemlist campaign.

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

  • Re-exporting doesn't update leads that already exist in Lemlist. Delete them there first if you want the new content.
