    Multi-trigger sequences with decision branches for stages
    Configure the sequences playbook to start based on multiple conditions across entities, eliminating the need for separate sequences for similar workflows. Add a decision node between stages to determine which stage to run next, based on the outcome of the previous stage.
    Schedule call activity for telesales workflows
    Design sequences with the new Scheduled call activity to automate structured call attempts, including delays and outcome-based branching, directly from the playbook interface. This helps agents follow a repeatable, optimized process for engaging prospects or customers in telesales workflows.
    Runtime permissions and fine-grained access control
    Enforce runtime permissions to control access to sequence records such as sequence tasks and steps.
    Granular role framework
    Assign role-based access for sequence admins, writers, executors, and readers. Sequence admins have full control, writers manage their own sequences, executors (formerly viewers) have read-only access to sequences and sequence task records, and readers view sequence records. For more information, see Compatibility information.
