How Sequences Send Emails
Each sequence is made up of stages:
Stage 1
Sent immediately after a candidate is enrolled
This is the first outreach email
Follow-Up Stages (Stage 2, Stage 3, etc.)
Sent after a defined delay (e.g., 3 days)
Can be configured as:
Reply (threaded) → continues the same email thread
New message (if applicable)
Timing & Delays
You can set delays between stages (e.g., 3 days after previous stage)
Timing is relative to:
When the candidate is enrolled
When the previous email was sent
How Email Spreading Applies
Emails are not always sent at the exact same second
Delivery may be slightly staggered across recipients
This helps maintain system performance and deliverability
Things to Know
Stage 1 may send immediately upon enrollment
Follow-ups respect the configured delay between stages
Reply (threaded) emails appear in the same conversation thread
Email timing may include slight variation (spreading)
Best Practices
Use delays (e.g., 2–3 days) between follow-ups
Keep messaging consistent across stages
Review timing before enrolling candidates
Use threaded replies for better engagement
Example Flow
Stage 1 → sent immediately
Stage 2 → sent 3 days later
Stage 3 → sent 3 days after Stage 2
