Keep sequence follow-ups in step with replies
A prospect's reply can prompt a review and status update for their Apollo sequence enrollment.
Trigger
New Email Received
Trigger for new emails in an AgentMail inbox
Action
Update contact status in sequence
Updates a contact's status within a designated apollo sequence, but cannot set the status to 'active'.
Why this helps
Automated follow-ups can become awkward when a prospect has already answered in a separate inbox.
- Use a new reply as a signal to review sequence enrollment.
- Choose a permitted status for the contact in the designated sequence.
- Reduce the chance of missed handoffs between inbox and outreach.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Agent Mail and Apollo once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation from any channel or in Automations, New Automation.
- 3Tell Notis how to identify the replying contact and sequence, and which permitted non-active status to set.
- 4Pick the Agent Mail New Email Received trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real prospect reply and verify the sequence status in Apollo.
Questions about this workflow
Can this set the sequence status to active?
No. Apollo does not allow this action to set a contact's sequence status to active.
What if the correct sequence is unclear?
Have Notis report the ambiguity for review instead of choosing a sequence or status without enough evidence.
