How follow-ups work (meet Chase)
Automatic follow-ups keep going until a brand replies — then stop.
Most replies don't come from the first email — they come from a thoughtful follow-up. That's
Chase's job. Chase is the follow-up agent that automatically sends the next step in a sequence until a brand replies, then stops. You set the cadence; Chase handles the timing and sending.
How a sequence runs
A sequence is your initial email plus up to three follow-ups (four steps total). Here's the flow:
- Your Initial Email sends from the Queued tab on your schedule.
- The contact moves to In Progress, where their follow-ups live.
- Each follow-up sends automatically after the delay you set between steps.
- When all steps have sent, the sequence moves to Complete.
Replies stop the chase
The whole point of follow-ups is to stop the moment they're no longer needed. If a contact replies, their remaining follow-ups are canceled automatically — no awkward "just bumping this" email after someone already wrote back. The sequence is then marked complete.
Controlling your follow-ups
Open any contact in the queue to see their full sequence as stacked step cards labeled Initial Email, Follow-up 1, and so on. From there you can:
- Edit the subject and body of any step that hasn't sent yet.
- Change the delay between steps using the connector between cards.
- Click Add Follow-up to add another step (up to four total).
- Remove an individual follow-up, or skip the whole sequence.
Tip: Keep follow-ups short and add a new angle each time, rather than just repeating the first email.
