If you do not see Sequences under Outreach in the left sidebar, your team is not in early access yet.
Ask your account manager to add your team.
How a sequence works
1
Connect a mailbox
Sequences send email from mailboxes connected to your team: Google Workspace, Microsoft 365
or any SMTP mailbox. Reps can connect their own inbox. See
Connect a mailbox.
2
Build the steps
Add steps in order: Email, Email (you send it), Call or To-do, each with a wait
before it. See Build a sequence.
3
Add people
Pull people from a HubSpot list, a Salesforce report, a dial list, a CSV or pasted emails. A
preview shows who goes in and who is skipped, and why, before anything starts. See
Enroll people.
4
Work your tasks
Automatic emails send on their own inside the sending window. Calls, emails you send yourself
and to-dos land in Sequencer › Tasks, and call steps also go onto your dial list. See
Work your tasks.
5
Let outcomes steer it
Replies are read and sorted (interested, meeting request, not interested, out of office and
more). Call dispositions count too. Your team’s rules decide what each outcome does. See
Replies and auto-send and
Rules of engagement.
What happens on its own
You do not have to remember these. They are on for every new sequence and team.A reply stops the sequence
When a prospect replies as interested or asks for a meeting, their sequence finishes. You can
change this per sequence to pause or keep going.
A meeting stops the company
A meeting set call or a meeting request finishes the person’s sequence. It also stops
outreach to everyone else at that company, across every sequence on the team.
Out of office waits
An out-of-office reply pauses the sequence until the return date in the reply, or for 7 days.
Unsubscribes stick
An unsubscribe link click, an unsubscribe reply, a bounce or a do not call again call adds
the person to the do-not-contact list. No sequence reaches them again.
Open deals are protected
People at a company with an open deal in your CRM, or who opted out in your CRM, are not
enrolled.
Silence gets skipped
After 3 unopened emails in a row, further email steps are skipped. After 4 unanswered calls in
a row, further call steps are skipped.
Where things live
In the left sidebar, My tasks (at the top) opens the Tasks tab and Sequences (under Outreach) opens the Sequences tab. Team-wide pages are in the Settings menu at the top right of the Sequencer.
Reps build sequences, add people, work tasks and, unless an admin turns it off, connect their own
mailbox. The team owner and members with the Admin license manage rules of engagement, auto-send
and the team’s shared mailboxes.
Work with Ari
Ari can look up your sequences and enrollments for you, and enroll, pause, resume or stop someone in a sequence. Ari asks for your approval before any change that starts or stops outreach.Ask Ari
“Which sequences is Dana Reyes in?” or “Pause Alex Munro’s sequence until next month.”

Key words
Enrollment
Enrollment
One person in one sequence. It has a state (waiting, active, paused, finished, bounced, opted
out or failed), a current step and a next due time. A person can be in a sequence only once at
a time.
Step
Step
One action in the sequence: an automatic email, an email you send, a call or a to-do.
Task
Task
A step that needs a person, or a one-off task a rep created. Tasks can be completed, skipped,
snoozed or reassigned.
Rules of engagement
Rules of engagement
Your team’s rules for who may be enrolled, when a step is skipped and what each outcome does.
Every sequence uses the team default unless it is given its own set of rules.
Sending window
Sending window
The days and hours steps may run, in the prospect’s timezone or the sequence’s. Out of the box
it is Monday to Friday, 8 AM to 5 PM.
Do-not-contact list
Do-not-contact list
Emails, domains and phone numbers that are never enrolled. Entries are added by hand, by
import, or on their own after an unsubscribe, a bounce or a do not call again call.
What the Sequencer does not do
- It does not send LinkedIn messages or texts for you. A sequence can hold a To-do step to remind you to do it, and reps can create one-off LinkedIn and text tasks. You do the action by hand.
- It only sends from mailboxes connected to your team.
- It does not create CRM contacts. Sequence emails are logged on the matching HubSpot or Salesforce contact, found by email address. A prospect who is not in your CRM has no record to log against.
