PATCH /v1/brands/{brand_id}/email-sequences/{sequence_id}

Update an email sequence

scope write:outreach cost 1 RU idempotent optional

Rename a sequence or replace its steps (send the full list). A sequence an active campaign uses must stay complete. Email steps send a template, wait steps wait some days, and condition steps branch on whether the last email was opened or replied to within a timeout; the first step must be an email. Requires the editor role and the brand owner on Pro.

Path parameters

Query parameters

Nothing is debited, reserved, dispatched or mutated. An invalid body still returns 422.

    default: false
