AutoGineer summary

Written by AutoGineer from the skill’s own files, not by the author

Sequence Load streamlines outbound sales workflows by automating the discovery and enrollment of prospects. It parses natural language targeting criteria, identifies the correct outreach sequence, enriches contact data, performs deduplication, and adds the leads to the specified campaign. The skill includes a confirmation step to manage credit usage and provides a summary of enrolled contacts upon completion.

What it does

  • Parses natural language requests for lead targeting and sequence selection.
  • Searches for and validates target outreach sequences.
  • Finds and previews potential leads based on job title, industry, and company size.
  • Enriches contact data and creates new records with deduplication.
  • Adds approved contacts to the selected Apollo outreach sequence.
  • Provides a post-enrollment summary and options for follow-up actions.

When to use it

  • When you need to quickly populate an outreach sequence with new, qualified leads.
  • When you want to automate the manual process of searching, enriching, and adding contacts to a campaign.
  • When you need to ensure lead data is enriched and deduplicated before starting an outreach sequence.
  • When managing multiple outbound campaigns and needing to distribute leads across them efficiently.

Advantages

  • Reduces manual data entry and administrative overhead in sales outreach.
  • Ensures data quality through automated enrichment and deduplication.
  • Provides clear visibility into credit usage before finalizing lead enrollment.
  • Standardizes the lead-to-sequence workflow for consistent outbound operations.

Usage examples

“add 20 VP Sales at SaaS companies to my Q1 Outbound sequence”
The agent identifies the sequence, finds 20 matching VP Sales leads, requests confirmation to use credits, and enrolls them upon approval.
“SDR managers at fintech startups -> Cold Outreach v2”
The agent searches for SDR managers in the fintech sector and adds them to the specified Cold Outreach v2 sequence.

Documentation by Apollo.io

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:

#NameTitleCompanyLocation

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

FieldValue
Sequence[Name]
Contacts added[count]
Sending from[email address]
Credits used[count]

Contacts enrolled:

NameTitleCompanyEmail

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
