A campaign is one message to a list. A sequence is a series of messages triggered by an event — somebody abandoned a cart, placed an order, or asked about a product and never came back.

How it works

1

Something happens

An event arrives — from your systems via the API, or from something the customer did.
2

A matching contact is enrolled

Consent is checked at enrolment, and again at each send.
3

Steps run on their own delays

“Immediately”, “after 2 days”, “after a week”. Each step is an approved template.
4

It completes, or stops early

A customer who replies, converts or opts out leaves the sequence.

Sending events

Events come in through the API. See the API reference.

Variables

Each step’s template blanks bind to contact fields or values carried on the enrolment — so an abandoned-cart message can name the actual product. Checked at enrolment and at each send. A customer who opts out on day one of a seven-day sequence does not receive day three.

Metering

Sequence sends are metered like any other template send. Most are charged. A utility step is the exception: until 1 October 2026, if it reaches somebody who is still inside their own 24-hour window — which a drip step often does, since it goes out to people who replied recently — Meta gives it away, and so do we.
Sequences run on our side, not from a browser tab — unlike a campaign started in the console. Nothing needs to stay open for a sequence to keep sending.
