Creating a follow up sequence

3 min read


A follow-up Sequence allows you to send follow-up messages to your customers at different times. You can set up different Queues, each with a different delay (1 day, 3 days, 5 days, etc.) and different messages. Then, you can subscribe your customers to the Sequence to start sending messages to them at the time you have set.

Manage Queues

Reorder Queue

You can reorder your Queues after creating them. This can be useful when you want to insert a Queue in the middle of the list.

Warning

This may affect what your customers receive if they have already subscribed to the Sequence.

For example, if you have a Sequence named Sequence A with the following Queues:

  1. Queue 1
  2. Queue 2
  3. Queue 3

And you have a customer John who is subscribed Sequence A and has received messages from Queue 1 and Queue 2.

If you decide to insert a Queue named Queue 4 in between Queue 2 and Queue 3:

  1. Queue 1
  2. Queue 2
  3. Queue 4 (Newly inserted Queue)
  4. Queue 3

Then John will receive Queue 4 next instead of Queue 3.

To reorder a Queue, simply click on the Drag icon on the left of the queue and drag to reorder.
