Key things to know
- SMS and call steps are always manual (sent via Review & Send); only email steps can auto-send.
- A contact can be in only one active sequence at a time.
- Pause-on-reply is always on - a reply stops the enrollment and cancels pending steps.
- Enrolling from Deal Hub does not save the property to your Deal Pipeline.

The Sequences page at a glance
The page has two halves:- Your sequence list. Every sequence in your organization, each with an on/off toggle, a conversation-type pill (New Conversation or Existing Conversation), and a menu with Duplicate & Edit, Duplicate, and Delete. Drag sequences to change their priority - priority decides which sequence wins when two auto-enroll rules match the same contact.
- The selected sequence. Click a sequence to see its steps as cards. Each step card shows live counts like 3 due • 5 scheduled • 12 completed, the contacts waiting at that step, and the actions for that step type (Review & Send, Mark Done, or automatic sending). Below the steps, Completed lists contacts who finished every step and Moved out lists contacts who left early.
Step types
How an enrollment moves through a sequence
- Enrolled. The contact enters step 1. The first step’s wait time starts counting.
- Scheduled. Until a step’s wait time elapses, the contact sits in that step’s Scheduled list with a countdown to when it goes due.
- Due. The contact appears in the step’s due list. You work it (or auto email sends it), which completes the step and schedules the next one.
- Completed. After the last step, the contact appears under Completed.
- Moved out. If the contact replies, or you message or call them manually about the same property, the enrollment stops, pending steps are cancelled, and the contact appears under Moved out (replies get a Replied badge).
Common questions
Can one contact be in two sequences?
Can one contact be in two sequences?
No - each contact can be in only one active sequence at a time. If you try to enroll a
contact who is already enrolled, the enroll window shows them in an already-enrolled notice
with a Stop & re-enroll option to switch them over.
What happens when an agent replies?
What happens when an agent replies?
Their enrollment stops immediately, pending steps are cancelled, and they move to
Moved out with a Replied badge. This is always on and can’t be turned off - the
whole point of a cadence is to stop the moment a real conversation starts.
Why did a contact leave my sequence when I never saw a reply?
Why did a contact leave my sequence when I never saw a reply?
Manually messaging or calling a contact about the same property also stops their
enrollment - a personal touch replaces the automated cadence. Manual contact about a
different property does not stop the enrollment.
Why can't I edit my sequence?
Why can't I edit my sequence?
Sequences with active enrollments can’t be edited in place, so contacts mid-cadence aren’t
affected by changes. Use Duplicate & Edit to create an editable copy, then enroll new
contacts into the copy.
Which sequence wins if two auto-enroll rules match?
Which sequence wins if two auto-enroll rules match?
The higher-priority sequence. Drag sequences up or down in the list on the Sequences page
to change priority.
Why is my sequence not enrolling anyone?
Why is my sequence not enrolling anyone?
A sequence must be turned On for manual enrollment and auto-enroll rules to work. Check
its toggle on the Sequences page. For auto-enroll rules, also check the rule’s own
Auto-Enroll toggle and its preview counts - see
Enroll Contacts.
Do sequences respect my operating hours and daily limits?
Do sequences respect my operating hours and daily limits?
Yes. Sequence sends go through the same Review & Send flow as other outreach, so operating
hours and your daily SMS and email limits in
Advanced Settings > Communication apply.
Limitations
