    • Dynamically update the sequence task records based on predefined configuration using the Update sequence task activity while designing customer engagement sequences.

    Before you begin

    The delegated developer roles must be assigned to designated users. For more information, see Grant delegated developer permissions for managing sequences.

    Role required: sn_crm_sequence.admin, sn_crm_sequence.writer

    Note:
    If you're using Customer Engagement Sequences 1.0.0, then you need the playbook.admin or pd_author role to create sequences.

    About this task

    Add the Update sequence task activity with other activities in a stage or in its own stage to update the sequence task record after the previous activity or stage has run. For example, the agent accessing the workflow could skip unnecessary call attempts when a lead is successfully contacted and move directly to the tear down stage after updating the record on the parent table. This example is demonstrated in the sample Lead nurturing tele-sales sequence available with the demo data.
