Sequence Load

# Sequence Load

Find, enrich, and load contacts into an outreach sequence — end to end. The user provides targeting criteria and a sequence name via "$ARGUMENTS".

## Examples

- `/apollo:sequence-load add 20 VP Sales at SaaS companies to my "Q1 Outbound" sequence` - `/apollo:sequence-load SDR managers at fintech startups → Cold Outreach v2` - `/apollo:sequence-load list sequences` (shows all available sequences) - `/apollo:sequence-load directors of engineering, 500+ employees, US → Demo Follow-up` - `/apollo:sequence-load reload 15 more leads into "Enterprise Pipeline"`

## Step 1 — Parse Input

From "$ARGUMENTS", extract:

**Targeting criteria:** - Job titles → `person_titles` - Seniority levels → `person_seniorities` - Industry keywords → `q_organization_keyword_tags` - Company size → `organization_num_employees_ranges` - Locations → `person_locations` or `organization_locations`

**Sequence info:** - Sequence name (text after "to", "into", or "→") - Volume — how many contacts to add (default: 10 if not specified)

If the user just says "list sequences", skip to Step 2 and show all available sequences.

## Step 2 — Find the Sequence

Use `mcp__claude_ai_Apollo_MCP__apollo_emailer_campaigns_search` to find the target sequence: - Set `q_name` to the sequence name from input

If no match or multiple matches: - Show all available sequences in a table: | Name | ID | Status | - Ask the user to pick one

## Step 3 — Get Email Account

Use `mcp__claude_ai_Apollo_MCP__apollo_email_accounts_index` to list linked email accounts.

- If one account → use automatically - If multiple → show them and ask which to send from

## Step 4 — Find Matching People

Use `mcp__claude_ai_Apollo_MCP__apollo_mixed_people_api_search` with the targeting criteria. - Set `per_page` to the requested volume (or 10 by default)

Present the candidates in a preview table:

| # | Name | Title | Company | Location | |---|---|---|---|---|

Ask: **"Add these [N] contacts to [Sequence Name]? This will consume [N] Apollo credits for enrichment."**

Wait for confirmation before proceeding.

## Step 5 — Enrich and Create Contacts

For each approved lead:

1. **Enrich** — Use `mcp__claude_ai_Apollo_MCP__apollo_people_bulk_match` (batch up to 10 per call) with: - `first_name`, `last_name`, `domain` for each person - `reveal_personal_emails` set to `true`

2. **Create contacts** — For each enriched person, use `mcp__claude_ai_Apollo_MCP__apollo_contacts_create` with: - `first_name`, `last_name`, `email`, `title`, `organization_name` - `direct_phone` or `mobile_phone` if available - `run_dedupe` set to `true`

Collect all created contact IDs.

## Step 6 — Add to Sequence

Use `mcp__claude_ai_Apollo_MCP__apollo_emailer_campaigns_add_contact_ids` with: - `id`: the sequence ID - `emailer_campaign_id`: same sequence ID - `contact_ids`: array of created contact IDs - `send_email_from_email_account_id`: the chosen email account ID - `sequence_active_in_other_campaigns`: `false` (safe default)

## Step 7 — Confirm Enrollment

Show a summary:

---

**Sequence loaded successfully**

| Field | Value | |---|---| | Sequence | [Name] | | Contacts added | [count] | | Sending from | [email address] | | Credits used | [count] |

**Contacts enrolled:**

| Name | Title | Company | Email | |---|---|---|---|

---

## Step 8 — Offer Next Actions

Ask the user:

1. **Load more** — Find and add another batch of leads 2. **Review sequence** — Show sequence details and all enrolled contacts 3. **Remove a contact** — Use `mcp__claude_ai_Apollo_MCP__apollo_emailer_campaigns_remove_or_stop_contact_ids` to remove specific contacts 4. **Pause a contact** — Re-add with `status: "paused"` and an `auto_unpause_at` date
