Creating your first sequence is a key step in getting started with Guided Selling. This guide walks you through the basics of sequence creation.
Sequence Creation Overview
A sequence consists of:
- Sequence Details: Name, record type, activation type, delegation
- Entrance Criteria: Conditions participants must meet to enter
- Exit Criteria: Conditions that cause participants to exit
- Actions: The steps participants will go through
- Activation: Making the sequence active

- Set Priority if it’s an automatic sequence
- Configure Sequence Delegation if needed
- Set other sequence options (Slow Drip, Repeatable Sequence)
Define Criteria

- Add Exit Criteria to determine when participants leave
- Test criteria using reports if possible
Add Actions

Best Practices for Your First Sequence

- Test thoroughly: Test in sandbox or with a small group first
- Use clear naming: Name your sequence descriptively
- Document purpose: Note what the sequence is designed to achieve
- Monitor closely: Watch the first participants closely
