Adding emails to your campaign is a key step in engaging your prospects effectively. Here's a simplified, step-by-step guide to help you through this process, including how to create personalized messages using Outbase AI writer.

Step 1: Add your Initial email

  1. Start setting up your message sequence:

    • Click Configure in the Messaging section to access the sequence editor view.

  2. Add your first message:

    • Hover over the plus sign and click the email icon to start crafting your first message.

  3. Create your initial message:

    • Select an existing template from the right or click New template to create a fresh one.

  4. Personalize the message:

  5. Save Your Template:

    • Click Publish to save the template, and add it to your sequence.

Step 2: Set Wait time between emails

  1. Add a Wait Time:

    • Hover over the plus sign again and click the wait (clock) icon.

  1. Decide the Wait Period:

    • Set the number of days to wait before the next email is sent. A 6-day gap is recommended for diversity in contact days.

Step 3: Adding Follow-up emails

Follow-ups are used as a nudge or chase on the initial email, in case this was overlooked by the prospect. We recommend keeping these short, with the original email included in the thread below. An example sequence of follow-ups would be:

Follow-Up 1 - Quick reminder e.g. "Just in case you missed the below..." Follow-Up 2 - Check they are the correct contact e.g. "If you're not the right person, is there someone else I could reach out to...?" Follow-Up 3 - Ask if there's a better time to reach out e.g. "As this might not be on your radar right now, is there a better time to follow-up...?"

  1. Add More Emails:

    • Repeat the process of adding emails for follow-ups. Hover over the plus and click the email icon.

  2. Create Follow-up Templates:

    • Use or create new templates for each follow-up email, focusing on nudges or reminders.

  3. Edit and Save Follow-ups:

    • In the editor, adjust your follow-up content as needed and click Save Template.

  4. Build your Sequence:

    • Continue adding wait times and follow-up emails until your sequence is complete.

  5. Finalize Your Sequence:

    • Click the Save button at the bottom once all elements are added.
