How replies are read

Replies arrive through the connected mailbox and are matched to the enrollment by thread. Each reply is classified into one category, with a confidence score: The sequence’s primary reply action (finish, continue, or pause for N days) applies to a reply from the prospect; the secondary reply action applies to a reply from anyone else on the thread. Reactions in Rules of engagement can override these per outcome.

Custom reply labels

Under Sequencer › Settings a team can add its own reply labels (“Asked for pricing”, “Referred me to someone”). The built-in categories cannot be edited, because the engine acts on them; custom labels only trigger reactions you define, through the a reply matched one of your labels outcome.

Suppression: the do-not-contact list

Sequencer › Suppression holds emails, domains and phone numbers that will never be enrolled. The enrollment preview refuses them with the reason “suppressed”. Entries carry a reason: unsubscribed, bounced, complained, manual, or do not call. Unsubscribes, bounces and complaints are added automatically; a do not call disposition in the dialer also adds the phone. Bulk import a list of addresses or domains with Import.
Removing an entry that was added by an unsubscribe or a complaint re-allows outreach to someone who asked not to be contacted. Do it only when you are certain it was added in error.

Auto-send for replies

By default every reply a rep or Ari drafts is a task: someone reads it and sends it. Auto-send lets a team release drafted replies on a timer for specific reply categories, for example an automatic thank-you and scheduling link to an interested reply if nobody has sent one within two hours. Settings under Sequencer › Settings › Auto-send: Every auto-send is logged on the enrollment as a send with the note that it was released automatically, and the drafted reply stays visible in the task list until it goes.
Unknown is banned on purpose. If the classifier is unavailable, every reply is categorised as unknown with zero confidence; banning it means an outage results in nothing being sent rather than everything.
