# Send your first sequence

> Turn a finished table into outreach: write the steps, pick the audience, assign a sender, and clear the launch checks.

A sequence sends your emails on a schedule and stops the moment someone replies. This guide takes one table from written to sending.

## What you'll learn

* **The builder**: lay out a first email and a follow-up on the canvas.
* **The audience**: point the sequence at a table so rows become contacts.
* **The launch checks**: read what is blocking a launch and clear it.

## Before you start

You need a table with an email address on each row, and a mailbox already connected. If you have neither, start with [Connect a mailbox](/outreach/connect-a-mailbox).

## Write the steps

<Steps>
  <Step title="Create the sequence">
    Click **Sequences** in the sidebar, then create one and name it for the audience it will reach.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add the first email">
    On **Builder**, click **Insert a step here** and choose **Send email**. Write the subject and body.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add a follow-up">
    Insert a second step below the first. Set how long it waits before sending.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Point it at your table

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open Audience">
    Go to the **Audience** tab and use **Choose a table** to pick your table.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Narrow it if you need to">
    Use **Narrow with a saved view** to send to part of the table rather than **Whole table**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Check the field mapping">
    Confirm **Lead email address** points at the column that holds the address.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Assign a sender and launch

<Steps>
  <Step title="Assign a sender">
    On **Senders**, pick the sender profile the emails are written as.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Clear the checks">
    Click **Launch**. Anything blocking the send is listed with a **Fix** link beside it.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Warning>
  Launching sends real email from your own mailbox. Read the first step once more before you confirm.
</Warning>

## Good to know

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="What happens when someone replies?">
    The sequence stops for that person and the reply arrives in your inbox. Nothing further sends to them.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Can I add more people after launching?">
    Yes. Rows added to the table are picked up while the sequence runs, subject to the audience you set.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Why is Launch greyed out?">
    A check has not been cleared. The most common causes are no sender profile, no connected mailbox, and an empty audience.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="How many emails will go out today?">
    Each mailbox has a daily limit, and the sequence sends only inside its schedule. The estimate shows before you launch.
  </Accordion>
