Building Sequences
A sequence is a series of touches across email, SMS, and voice. SIE pairs each step with the right intent signal so your outreach feels timely instead of cold.
What you'll learn
- How sequence steps map to signals
- How to mix email, SMS, and voice channels
- How to set wait times and exit conditions
- How to A/B test message copy
- How counselor review keeps you compliant
Step 1: Pick a trigger signal
Open Sequences → New. The first node is always a signal trigger. Pick from your subscribed categories — for example, HVAC owner posted estimator job in last 7 days. Only signals that match this filter enter the sequence.
Step 2: Add channel steps
Drag channel nodes onto the canvas. Each node has a wait, a message template, and an exit rule.
- Email — sends through your connected provider (Mailchimp, Klaviyo, etc.)
- SMS — sends through SIE's carrier integration. TCPA consent is checked before every send.
- Voice — places an AI-assisted call. Used sparingly, counselor-gated.
Step 3: Tune timing
A sensible default sequence: email day 0, SMS day 2 (only if no open), email day 5, voice day 7 (only if still no reply). Use the Wait node between each step. Sequences pause automatically on weekends and after-hours unless you override.
Step 4: A/B test
Add a Split node and write two subject lines. SIE tracks open and reply rate, then auto-promotes the winner after 200 sends.
Counselor-gated send
Before a sequence goes live, our counselor checks for missing consent flags, suppression-list collisions, and language that crosses into eligibility claims. We work with intent signals, not credit decisions, so we surface anything that drifts toward FCRA territory and ask you to rephrase.
