Edit, Clone, or Delete a Sequence

Role:

Guided Selling

You can edit, clone, or delete sequences in Guided Selling. Each operation has different implications for existing participants and sequence data.

Choose a Sequence

  1. Open Salesforce.
  2. Click the icon (App Launcher) in the top-left of Salesforce.
  3. Search for Guided Selling.
  4. Click the Sequences tab.
  5. Click on a Sequence from the list.

Editing a Sequence

You can edit any existing sequence, whether it is active or inactive. When you save changes, they take effect immediately and overwrite the previous configuration. Guided Selling does not keep version history for sequences or their settings, so there is no undo.

Sequence header with sequence name and Activate, Deactivate, Clone, and Edit buttons.
  1. Navigate to the sequence detail page
  2. Click the Edit option located in the top right corner
  3. Edit the sequence as needed
  4. Click Save when ready

Editable Options

  • Sequence name
  • Activation type
  • Sequence delegation
  • Entrance and exit criteria
  • Actions (with limitations when participants exist)
  • Slow drip settings
  • Repeatable sequence setting

Editing Sequences with Participants

When editing sequences with active participants:

  • New actions can only be added to the end of the sequence
  • Existing actions can be modified, but changes affect all participants
  • Removing actions will remove uncompleted Participant Actions
  • Exit criteria changes can affect current participants. See how.

Cloning a Sequence

Cloning a sequence creates a new version titled “Copy of [Original Sequence Name]”, which includes all Sequence Details and Sequence Actions from the original. By default, the cloned sequence is deactivated.

Sequence header with sequence name and Activate, Deactivate, Clone, and Edit buttons.
  1. Navigate to the sequence detail page
  2. Click the Clone option located in the top right corner
  3. The cloned sequence will be created with “Copy of” prefix
  4. Edit the cloned sequence as needed
  5. Activate when ready

As with newly created sequences, the Sequence Type value cannot be modified in the cloned sequence.

Deleting a Sequence

If the sequence itself is deleted, all associated participants are removed from the sequence.

Deleting a sequence is a permanent action. All participants will be removed, and sequence history will be preserved in Participant Sequence Association records.

Before deleting

Before deleting a sequence, consider:

  • The number of active participants
  • Whether sequence history needs to be preserved
  • Impact on reporting and analytics
  • Whether the sequence should be deactivated instead

Deactivating vs. deleting

  • Deactivate: Pauses the sequence but preserves all data and participants
  • Delete: Permanently removes the sequence and disassociates all participants
Consider deactivating a sequence instead of deleting it if you may need it again or want to preserve historical data. To remove participants without deleting the sequence, set exit criteria such that all current participants match; they will be disenrolled when you save your changes.
