A Sequence’s Record Type (also called Sequence Type) defines which records can be enrolled in the sequence.

Available record types

You choose one of four types when creating a sequence — Lead, Contact, Opportunity, or Campaign — and that choice drives which participants can be added, which criteria and delegation options are available, and which objects are used for association.

Record TypeDescription
LeadThe sequence runs for Lead records (and uses Lead lookup fields per your Salesforce configuration).
ContactThe sequence runs for Contact records (and uses Contact lookup fields per your Salesforce configuration).
OpportunityThe sequence runs for Contacts who are associated with an Opportunity via Opportunity Contact Role.
CampaignThe sequence runs for Leads and Contacts who are Campaign Members on an active Campaign.
Record type is required when creating a sequence and cannot be changed after the sequence is saved. Select the correct record type before saving.

How record type affects Sequences

The record type you select determines:

  • Which fields are available for entrance and exit criteria
  • Which participants can be associated with the sequence
  • Which fields are available for sequence delegation
  • Which objects are used for sequence association
