Email Sequences
Email sequences (drip campaigns) automatically send a series of emails to contacts on a schedule — perfect for onboarding, nurturing leads, or follow-up campaigns.
Creating a sequence
Section titled “Creating a sequence”- Go to the email sequences section
- Click New Sequence
- Configure:
- Name — internal name (e.g., “New lead nurture”)
- Description — what this sequence does
- Trigger — what enrolls a contact (e.g., manual enrollment)
- Unenroll on reply — automatically stop the sequence if the contact replies
Adding steps
Section titled “Adding steps”Each step in a sequence defines an email to send and when:
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| Step order | The position in the sequence (1, 2, 3…) |
| Delay | How long to wait after the previous step |
| Email content | Subject and body for this step |
Example sequence: New lead follow-up
Section titled “Example sequence: New lead follow-up”| Step | Delay | |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Immediately | ”Thanks for your interest” |
| 2 | 3 days | ”Here’s what we can do for you” |
| 3 | 7 days | ”Any questions? Let’s chat” |
| 4 | 14 days | ”Last chance — special offer” |
Enrolling contacts
Section titled “Enrolling contacts”Contacts can be enrolled in a sequence:
- Manually — select contacts and enroll them
- Via automation — an automation rule triggers enrollment
Managing enrollments
Section titled “Managing enrollments”For each enrolled contact, you can see:
- Current step
- Next email date
- Status (active, completed, unenrolled)
- Unenroll reason (if applicable)
- Keep sequences short (3-5 emails) — longer sequences have diminishing returns
- Enable “unenroll on reply” to avoid sending automated emails after a real conversation starts
- Test sequences on yourself before enrolling real contacts
