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
Sofia accepts
A new connection worth keeping.
A contact in folk
In your Prospects group.
The conversation continues
Kerux keeps writing on LinkedIn.
An example workflow
- Send the LinkedIn invitation.
- Accepted: a Webhook / HTTP step creates the person in folk with
firstName,lastName,emails,urlsand the group. - An Update lead step saves the folk person id on the lead.
- Day 2: the first LinkedIn message.
- A reply sends the lead to a follow-up campaign that updates the folk contact.
What data flows
Kerux sends to folk
lead.first_namelead.last_nameemaillead.linkedin_url

Set it up
- In folk, open Settings > API and create an API key. Kerux sends it as a bearer token.
- 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.
- Add a Webhook / HTTP step: POST
/v1/peoplewithfirstName,lastName,emails,urls(the LinkedIn URL) andgroups: [{"id": "YOUR_GROUP_ID"}]. - Use the person id from folk's answer to update the contact later.
- 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.
