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:

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

Contacts enrolled:

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
