Email + SMS sequences

A sequence sends a series of emails and texts to every new contact, at the right time: welcome on day 0, a tip on day 2, an offer on day 7, an SMS reminder before the offer ends. Menu Campaigns → Email, Sequences tab.

Create an email + SMS sequence Name, trigger tag, welcome email, then a reminder SMS.

Email sequences with enrolled contacts and stats

New sequence

Click New sequence. Name it and choose the sending address.

Trigger tag (optional)

Contacts who get this tag are enrolled automatically (e.g. newsletter, new-customer). Without a tag, you enroll contacts yourself or from a workflow.

Sequence editor: name, sender and trigger tag
1. Name · 2. Trigger tag

Add the steps

Each step is an email (subject, preview text, content in classic or HTML mode) or an SMS (sent with your default SMS provider, to the contact’s number). Set the delay after the previous step. The arrows reorder steps.

Save and turn on

Save, then make sure the sequence is active. You can choose to track opens and clicks.

Enroll contacts

  • Automatically: by adding the trigger tag to a contact (import, edit, workflow, AI agent).
  • Manually: the Enroll contacts button (a CRM tag, a file or pasted addresses).
  • From a workflow: the Email sequence action (e.g. after a Shopify order).

The Enrolled contacts table shows where each person is. Someone who unsubscribes leaves all your sequences.
