Sequence Load
Find, enrich, and load contacts into an outreach sequence — end to end. The user provides targeting criteria and a sequence name via "$ARGUMENTS".
Examples
/apollo:sequence-load add 20 VP Sales at SaaS companies to my "Q1 Outbound" sequence/apollo:sequence-load SDR managers at fintech startups → Cold Outreach v2/apollo:sequence-load list sequences(shows all available sequences)/apollo:sequence-load directors of engineering, 500+ employees, US → Demo Follow-up/apollo:sequence-load reload 15 more leads into "Enterprise Pipeline"
Step 1 — Parse Input
From "$ARGUMENTS", extract:
Targeting criteria:
- Job titles →
person_titles - Seniority levels →
person_seniorities - Industry keywords →
q_organization_keyword_tags - Company size →
organization_num_employees_ranges - Locations →
person_locationsororganization_locations
Sequence info:
- Sequence name (text after "to", "into", or "→")
- Volume — how many contacts to add (default: 10 if not specified)
If the user just says "list sequences", skip to Step 2 and show all available sequences.
Step 2 — Find the Sequence
Use mcp__claude_ai_Apollo_MCP__apollo_emailer_campaigns_search to find the target sequence:
- Set
q_nameto the sequence name from input
If no match or multiple matches:
- Show all available sequences in a table: | Name | ID | Status |
- Ask the user to pick one
Step 3 — Get Email Account
Use mcp__claude_ai_Apollo_MCP__apollo_email_accounts_index to list linked email accounts.
- If one account → use automatically
- If multiple → show them and ask which to send from
Step 4 — Find Matching People
Use mcp__claude_ai_Apollo_MCP__apollo_mixed_people_api_search with the targeting criteria.
- Set
per_pageto the requested volume (or 10 by default)
Present the candidates in a preview table:
Ask: "Add these [N] contacts to [Sequence Name]? This will consume [N] Apollo credits for enrichment."
Wait for confirmation before proceeding.
Step 5 — Enrich and Create Contacts
For each approved lead:
-

mcp__claude_ai_Apollo_MCP__apollo_people_bulk_match(batch up to 10 per call) with:first_name,last_name,domainfor each personreveal_personal_emailsset totrue

Collect all created contact IDs.
Step 6 — Add to Sequence
