Email Sequences
Email sequences in ClientX are multi-step automated campaigns with configurable delays between each message.Creating a sequence
Creating a sequence
Go to Outreach > Campaigns and click New Campaign. Select Email as the channel. You can start from scratch or describe your goal and let the AI Campaign Builder generate the steps for you.
Step timing and delays
Step timing and delays
Each step has a configurable
delay_days value — the number of days to wait after the previous step before sending. Step 1 always sends on day 0 (immediately after enrollment). A typical sequence:AI personalization
AI personalization
Before each email sends, the AI fills in personalization using:
- Lead enrichment data (company, title, industry, funding stage)
- Pages the lead visited on your site
- Their conversation history with your website chat widget
- Previous emails already sent in the sequence
Automatic stop on reply
Automatic stop on reply
When a lead replies to any step in the sequence, ClientX immediately pauses all remaining steps. You will see the enrollment status change to Replied in the Outreach dashboard. The lead’s reply lands in your inbox as a normal email — you take it from there.
Nurture Sequences
Nurture sequences are long-term re-engagement campaigns for leads who visited your site, showed some interest, but did not convert during initial outreach. The ClientX nurture agent evaluates each lead on a configurable schedule and decides whether to re-engage — and with what angle — based on:- Days since the last touchpoint
- Email engagement history (opens, clicks, replies)
- Previous angles already tried (to avoid repetition)
- The lead’s original conversation from your website widget
Email Verification and Deliverability
ClientX verifies every lead’s email address before sending to protect your sender reputation.Email tracking events (opens and clicks) are available in Leads > Email Events. You can filter by event type, date range, and sequence to understand which steps are performing and which subject lines need work.
