Follow-ups that know when to wait.
A sequence is a series of emails with waits in between. Inboxed sends each step inside the lead’s working hours, skips holidays, can hold a step for a person to review, and moves leads to another campaign based on how they replied.

What it does
Waits in days, hours or minutes
Anything from 10 minutes to 60 days between steps.
Manual review steps
A step can wait for a teammate to read and edit the draft. If nobody does within the days you set, it is skipped or sent.
Subsequences by reply type
When a reply is labelled Interested, Not now, Referral or another type, move the lead into a follow-up campaign after a wait you choose.
Conditions
Send a step only if the lead opened or clicked an earlier email, or only if they didn’t.
Lead’s local time
Send in each lead’s working hours, guessing the time zone from country, state or city when the lead has none.
Skip dates and holidays
Skip up to 100 dates you pick, and common fixed-date public holidays in the lead’s country.
Volume control
New leads per day, a ramp that starts at 20 a day and adds 20 a day, first emails before follow-ups, and random gaps between sends.
Same thread or new
Follow-ups reply in the same thread by default; any step can start a new email with its own subject.
How it works in Inboxed
Write steps
Each step is an email or a manual review step, with a wait after the previous one.
Set the window
Sending days and hours, start and end dates, skip dates and holidays.
Add rules
Optional subsequence rules: on reply type X, after N days, move the lead to campaign Y.
Inboxed paces it
The sender checks the window in the lead’s time zone, the caps and the gaps before each email.
Honest limits
What this doesn’t do, and what it needs from you.
- Holiday skipping covers fixed-date holidays (such as 1 January and 25 December where they are public holidays), not Easter or other moving holidays. Add those as skip dates.
- Open-based conditions depend on open tracking, which is an estimate (see Email tracking). If open tracking is off, “opened” never holds.
- Subsequence rules are set by managers, at most 10 per campaign, and a lead can be moved at most 3 times in a chain. Loops are refused.
- Moving a lead into another campaign is a send like any other: its emails are charged when they send.
Questions
What’s the shortest wait between two steps?
10 minutes. The longest is 60 days.
How does Inboxed know a lead’s time zone?
From the lead’s time zone field, or, for new campaigns, a guess from their country, state or city. Leads with no location use the campaign’s time zone.
What is a subsequence?
A rule that moves a lead into another running campaign when their reply gets a certain type, such as Not now or Referral, after a wait you set. Every move is re-checked when it runs: suppressed, bounced or unsubscribed leads are never moved.
