Via API steps and webhooks No app to install: Kerux talks to folk's API with HTTP steps and webhooks, set up once.

LinkedIn connections as folk contacts

When a lead accepts or replies, an API step creates them in folk with their name, email and LinkedIn URL, in the group your team works from.

How it works

  1. Sofia accepts

    A new connection worth keeping.

  2. A contact in folk

    In your Prospects group.

  3. The conversation continues

    Kerux keeps writing on LinkedIn.

An example workflow

  1. Send the LinkedIn invitation.
  2. Accepted: a Webhook / HTTP step creates the person in folk with firstName, lastName, emails, urls and the group.
  3. An Update lead step saves the folk person id on the lead.
  4. Day 2: the first LinkedIn message.
  5. A reply sends the lead to a follow-up campaign that updates the folk contact.

What data flows

Kerux sends to folk

  • lead.first_name
  • lead.last_name
  • email
  • lead.linkedin_url

folk sends to Kerux

  • data.id

Set it up

  1. In folk, open Settings > API and create an API key. Kerux sends it as a bearer token.
  2. In Kerux, open Integrations > Connections and click Connect on Custom API (under Developers). Pick how folk signs in, paste the key and folk's Base URL, click Save, then Test connection.
  3. Add a Webhook / HTTP step: POST /v1/people with firstName, lastName, emails, urls (the LinkedIn URL) and groups: [{"id": "YOUR_GROUP_ID"}].
  4. Use the person id from folk's answer to update the contact later.
  5. In the campaign's Builder, click Test to open Test on one lead: the lead's journey shows what Kerux sent to folk and what came back.

Plan limits: Check folk's pricing page for API access on your plan.

Questions

Does Kerux have a native folk integration?

Not a one-click app. Kerux works with folk today through folk's own API: you save your folk key once in Kerux, then HTTP steps and webhooks do the work inside your campaigns. Nothing to install and no Zapier needed.

Where do I find the group id?

folk's API lists your groups and their ids; the guide shows the call. Without a group, the person is still created in your workspace.

Can folk send changes back to Kerux?

folk has webhooks for changes to people (folk's developer docs). Point one at a Kerux Wait for webhook step to react, for example, when someone moves to a new stage.

What happens if folk is down or refuses a call?

The lead stops with folk's own error message and shows in Need attention with a Retry button. It never shows as finished because a call failed, and nothing else goes out to that lead until you decide.
