Sequences are automated, multi-step campaigns that send timed emails and create tasks for enrolled households. Define your steps once, enroll households, and Slant handles the rest on a business-day schedule.

What sequences do

A sequence is a series of email and task steps that execute automatically on a schedule. When you enroll a household, they receive each step in order with timing you define — day 1, then day 3, then day 10, for example. Sequences work well for:
  • Prospect outreach — Systematic follow-up with new leads
  • Onboarding emails — Welcome series for new clients
  • Review reminders — Scheduled touchpoints before annual reviews
  • Event follow-up — Post-meeting nurture campaigns

How sequences work

1

Create the sequence

Define your email and task steps with timing between them. You can build from scratch or use AI to generate steps from a prompt.
2

Configure your steps

Write email content with personalization variables and set up task steps for manual follow-ups.
3

Enable the sequence

Toggle the Enable sequence switch to activate it.
4

Enroll households

Add households manually from the sequence detail page, or automatically via workflow automation.
5

Steps execute automatically

Each enrollee receives emails and tasks on their personalized business-day schedule.

Sequence limits

Sequences have limits designed to protect deliverability and prevent over-communication:
RuleLimit
Maximum email steps6 per sequence
Maximum duration20 business days
Emails per day1 per enrollee
Active enrollments100 total across all sequences in a book
Sending hoursBusiness hours in the book’s timezone
Sending daysBusiness days only (no weekends)

Step types

Sequences support two step types:
  • Email steps — Send an automated email to the enrolled household’s recipients. Supports rich text, personalization variables, file attachments, and reply threading.
  • Task steps — Create a task assigned to the appropriate team member. Useful for phone call reminders or manual touchpoints.

Automatic exit conditions

Enrollments automatically finish when:
  • A recipient replies to any email in the sequence
  • A meeting is scheduled with the enrolled household
  • A recipient unsubscribes from emails
  • Someone manually exits the enrollment
This prevents continued outreach to people who have already engaged or opted out.
