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:

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

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:

Step 8 — Offer Next Actions

Ask the user:

• Load more — Find and add another batch of leads

• Review sequence — Show sequence details and all enrolled contacts

• Remove a contact — Use mcp__claude_ai_Apollo_MCP__apollo_emailer_campaigns_remove_or_stop_contact_ids to remove specific contacts

• Pause a contact — Re-add with status: "paused" and an auto_unpause_at date
