FAQ's (Frequently Asked Questions)

What is the difference Between an Email Campaign and a Sequence?

At Saleshandy, What you're calling Sequence is actually an Email Campaign. i.e., Sequence = Email Campaign

In the mail, I tell them I will contact you in 3 months; some people reply with no thanks, so they don't need to be in the sequence anymore; some people reply with: ok, that's fine. So, they need to continue in the sequence.

In this case, you can manually filter and mark them as Finish and stop further steps for them.

When someone replies to a sequence, will the sequence continue?

Yes, when someone replies, the sequence will stop for them. To whichever step they respond to, later steps/follow-up will be terminated for those prospects. By default, the safety setting is turned on, which is considered the prospect as finished if a reply is received.

You can turn the option off if you want them to receive the remaining emails. Another way you can do this is to create a new sequence with those prospects
