In this article, we'll go over the Settings tab of your sequence and explain what each setting does, so you can configure your sequence the way you need.

To access these settings, open your sequence and go to the Settings tab.

You can select the connected email account(s) you want to use in this sequence to send emails.

You can choose which connected LinkedIn account(s) to use for LinkedIn steps in this sequence.

The Unsubscribe header is an additional way for contacts to unsubscribe from your emails, particularly useful in marketing outreach.

When enabled, contacts automatically move to the next step if they reach a LinkedIn InMail step and the connected LinkedIn account runs out of InMail credits.

You can set the maximum number of contacts from the same business domain that Reply can contact per day. This can help avoid reaching out to too many people from the same company at once and keep your outreach more targeted.

💡 This limit applies only to business domains (e.g., @reply.io). Free domains such as gmail.com and yahoo.com are excluded. See the full list of free domains.

When enabled, contacts are automatically matched with sending email addresses based on their email provider. This can help improve email deliverability and sender reputation.

When it's on, new contacts move to Step 1 as soon as they're added to the sequence instead of passing through the Throttled stage first.

This setting lets you control how many new contacts can start a sequence each day. When you add contacts to a sequence, they are temporarily marked as Throttled while Reply prepares them for Step 1 and keeps them in the queue based on your daily limit.

This helps you balance new contacts with your overall sending volume. For example, if you set:

The sequence can send up to 100 first-step emails per day, while the remaining 300 emails can be used for follow-up steps.

💡 Blacklisted contacts don't count toward this limit.

When you use Max new daily contacts, you can choose how Reply adds new contacts to the sequence each day:

You can set the maximum number of emails the sequence can send per day across all connected email accounts.

This setting controls how many seconds Reply waits between sending each email. We recommend a delay of at least 120-180 seconds to reduce the risk of your account being blocked for spam activity.

This mode sends emails without HTML, link tracking, or images, which can help improve email deliverability, but may affect the email formatting.

When enabled, an open tracking pixel is added to emails sent from the sequence, so you can track when contacts open your emails.

When enabled, you can track when contacts click on links in emails sent from the sequence.

You can set what happens when a person replies to an email, SMS, or LinkedIn message:

💡 If you change the setting to Continue processing steps, it applies to new replies. Contacts who have already replied need to be manually reactivated.

This setting controls what happens when a person books a meeting:

You can set how many days after the last sequence step a contact is assigned the Finished status if they don't reply. It's set to 5 days by default.

The Finished status means the sequence has ended for the contact. Contacts can also be marked as Finished after a reply, email bounce, or opt-out.

💡 Reply only checks for replies from active contacts, so we recommend keeping this for a few days, especially if the last step is an email.

Here, you can choose how call steps are handled in your sequence: manually or automatically.

In manual mode, the contact stays on the call step until you complete the task manually. If the call is the last step in the sequence, the contact moves to Finished after the specified number of days (5 by default).

In automatic mode, if you don't finish the call manually, the contact moves to the next step automatically after the step delay. If a call is the last step in the sequence, the contact is moved to Finished after the number of days set in Mark contact as finished after the last step.

The system can automatically trigger a call for a contact after they've opened your email a specified number of times.

When enabled, the contact is paused in the sequence after a successful call, so they won't receive any further automated steps.

You can choose how task steps are handled in your sequence.

You can choose who should be assigned as the task owner.

You can find these tasks on the Tasks page and in Findy.
