Drip sequences
Send a series of timed WhatsApp templates to each person — day 0, day 2, day 7 — with automatic stop on reply.

A drip sequence sends a series of messages to each enrolled person on their own schedule.
Build one
Drip sequences → New sequence, or save_sequence in chat.
- Add messages in order; each waits a set time (minutes, hours or days) after the previous one — the first waits after enrolling.
- Each message is an approved template (sequence messages go out days apart, outside the 24-hour window). Fill its variables from contact columns, the name, or fixed text.
- Stop on reply (recommended, on by default) takes someone out as soon as they reply, so a person can answer.
Enrolling people
- Manually: enroll a contact list (sequence page → Enroll this list) or specific numbers (
enroll_in_sequence). - Automatically: set "Anyone added to a contact list" — every contact added to that list by an upload is enrolled.
People already enrolled are skipped, and opted-out numbers are never enrolled.
What can stop a sequence for someone
| Status | Why |
|---|---|
| Finished | All messages sent |
| Stopped — replied | They replied and stop-on-reply is on |
| Stopped — replied STOP | They opted out |
| Stopped — removed | You removed them (remove_from_sequence) |
| Failed | A template stopped being approved, or the contact has no value for a variable |
Pausing a sequence holds everyone where they are; turning it on resumes their schedules. If your plan's allowance runs out, due messages wait and retry.
The sequence page shows counts and each person's progress and next send time.
