How to Automate It
Trigger from the relevant CRM event, assign an owner when a reply occurs, and stop when the contact books, buys, opts out, or becomes disqualified.

View MyCaseStops, Branches, and Handoffs
Stop the sequence when
- Stop when the goal-completion event is recorded.
- Stop automation when the recipient replies or a human begins active handling.
- Stop on unsubscribe, complaint, or hard bounce.
- Suppress when required data is stale or conflicting.
- Route safety, dispute, or regulated-review signals to a qualified human.
Branch when
- The recipient replies or a human begins active handling. → assign human
- The goal is complete, the recipient unsubscribes or complains, or a hard bounce occurs. → stop
- Required data is stale, conflicting, unsafe, disputed, or needs regulated review. → assign human
Human handoff: Assign the current record and full message history to a named owner; suppress further automated steps until the owner resolves or re-enrolls it.
Make this sequence yours: No more than one sequence message in 24 hours; coordinate with other active campaigns.
When to end it: End at the final step or sooner on any stop condition; do not restart without a new verified event.
Primary outcome: Verified completion of the sequence goal
Guardrails: reply-to-human latency; unsubscribe and complaint rate; hard-bounce rate; suppression accuracy
Channel fit: Email for durable context and links; Human call or secure channel for urgent, sensitive, disputed, or complex cases
