Overview

You can now build multi-day email sequences with Relate Sequence. Relate Sequence Beta is a simple email automation tool designed for B2B startups and is now available to all Relate paid users during beta.

Beta update

Relate Sequence beta is not yet appropriate for sending large volumes of cold emails but rather for automatically sending follow-up emails to a small batch of customers. For example, you can use Relate Sequence beta for the following purposes:

  • You want to automatically follow up a sales opportunity in the pipeline.
  • You want to automatically follow up on inbound leads.
