Drafting During Sequence Creation

In the new sequence flow, you no longer draft emails separately. Instead, you provide your business details during sequence creation, and AI automatically generates the email templates for you.

Provide Business Offer

While creating an AI Assisted sequence, you'll be asked to enter your business offer.

Example Inputs:

  • I want to sell digital marketing services

  • I sell CRM software for real estate agents

  • I sell lead generation services to SaaS companies

  • We sell a live chat solution for B2B companies across Europe

  • My business helps with logistics for companies across USA

  • My startup provides health insurance to businesses

Personalization options

When you create an AI sequence, you can also control how the AI writes each email. You can change these options later in the sequence settings.

Option Choices
Personalization Choose which lead details the AI should use: First name, Company name, Job title, City, State, Country, Department, Additional lead data. If a lead doesn't have a field, the AI skips it for that lead.
Email Length Concise, Standard or Thorough
Email Tone Friendly, Neutral, Matter-of-fact, Professional or Humorous
Sample Email (Optional) Paste an example email of up to 2000 characters. The AI tries to match its style, tone and length.

Preview AI-written emails

You can preview AI-written emails in two places:

  • Outbox: turn on Review emails in Outbox before sending in the sequence settings. Each AI-written email then waits in the Outbox. It is drafted when you open it there, and you can review, edit, and approve it.
  • Lead activity page: if Outbox review is off, each email is drafted up to about 2 hours before it is due to send. Open a lead from the sequence to see the email drafted for them.

Note: Bulk approval is not available for AI-personalized sequences. Each AI-written email must be approved individually in the Outbox.

Add a meeting or Calendly link

If you have set up a SalesBlink meeting link, the AI adds it to its call to action automatically. Otherwise, put your meeting link in your business details when you create the sequence, or in the AI Reply Agent settings so the AI can share it when it replies to leads.

Tip: Avoid putting links in the first email. Links in a first cold email can hurt deliverability.

Results

AI helps you:

  • Save time

  • Generate high-quality email copy

  • Improve reply rates

Frequently Asked Questions

How can I see what the AI will send before it goes out?

Turn on Review emails in Outbox before sending and review each email in the Outbox, or open a lead's activity page. With review off, emails are drafted up to about 2 hours before they send.

Where should I add my Calendly or meeting link?

Add it to your business details or to the AI Reply Agent. Avoid links in the first email.

Can I turn off AI personalization on an existing sequence?

No. AI personalization can't be switched off once the sequence exists. Create a new sequence without AI personalization instead.

Can I approve all AI-written emails at once?

No. Bulk approval is unavailable for AI-personalized sequences. Each email must be approved individually.
