Set up email sequences (drip campaigns)
Build multi-step sequences with waits, conditions, and branching to nurture contacts over time.
A sequence is a series of messages that go out automatically over time. Use one to onboard new contacts, nurture leads, or follow up after a purchase.
Choose a trigger
Open Sequences and create a new one. The trigger decides who gets enrolled, for example:
- Manual enrollment, you add contacts yourself
- Form submission, when someone submits a specific form
- Tag added to a contact
- Deal won or deal stage changed
- Booking created, invoice paid, event registration, course enrollment, or product purchased
Add steps
Build the flow step by step:
- Send Email or Send SMS, the messages contacts receive
- Wait, pause for minutes, hours, days, or weeks between steps
- Condition, only continue if a contact meets a rule
- If/Else Branch, split the path based on what a contact has done
- Goal, end the sequence when a contact reaches an outcome (like getting a tag)
Branching lets you send different messages to different people, so the sequence feels personal. Turn it on when you're ready and track enrollments from the sequence page.
