Stopping Automated Sequence When a Prospect Responds

Chris Clegg

We're taking a serious look at Mailigen to automate our lead nurturing and prospecting work.  One thing I'm hung up on is ending a auto-sequence if someone responds.

For example, let's say I have three email automation planned for lost customers (i.e., those whom we havne't worked with in 2 years or more).  I want one of the CTAs to be "reply if you have any questions or would like to connect."  Is it possible for me to automatically end the future emails in that sequence if someone replies?

Klenty is an email tool that provides this feature. Not sure if it's possible with Mailigen without a Zap or similar automation tool... wondering if others have tackled this diferently.

Regards,

Chris

@Chris Clegg unfortunately there is no out of the box solution. Still looking at ways to solve it with a workaround.

CTA is Call To Action right?

Hi, @John Shelburne  - Yes.  CTA = Call to Action in my post.  Do you have a similar problem?

I am looking at automation for emails and it makes sense to have a conversion metric of "Replied" to quit the automation.

Did some more digging. Unfortunately we don't have yet an API endpoint to check if email was replied to. A workaround for this is manual process. Where a custom field is used on Pipedrive side. Which is then synced to Mailigen and is used as a condition in the automation flow. E.g. "Customer engaged" field can be set to YES and that then stops automation. 
Changes to the API might take a while, but we've placed it in the new feature request list.

There is a way to do this already.

1) Ensure that your email is synced to pipedrive (where you will receive the reply)

2) Create "a last email received" filter, to today.

3) In your workflow, remove people if they are in the filtered list

Hi @Stef!

I'm trying to do this, but I'm not sure how to accomplish the last step as I don't find an action for removing people from the workflow. Can you explain it a little bit more in detail, please? 🙏

Thanks!
