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:

#	Name	Title	Company	Location

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

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

Contacts enrolled:

Name	Title	Company	Email

---

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
