Two sequences running at once can reach the same person in the same week without either one knowing. The cooldown stops that: nobody is contacted again inside the window you choose, by any sequence, from any sender.

​
Set the cooldown

1

Open Cooldown

Go to Cooldown in Settings.
2

Turn it on and choose a window

Enter a number of days. Anyone contacted within that many days is not contacted again until it passes.
It can be left off, and it starts off for every workspace that existed before it shipped.

​
What happens to a contact inside the window

They are stopped, with the reason on their row. The Contacts tab reads Stopped, and Why says when they were last contacted. Nothing brings them back on its own. The cooldown refuses a contact rather than queueing them, so there is no date to wait for and no sweep that enrols them later. The rule is checked twice: when a sequence decides whether to enrol somebody, and again immediately before every send. A contact reached by another sequence mid-cadence is stopped before the next message goes.

​
Contact them anyway

Open the row menu on the Contacts tab and choose Resume. They start at step one of that sequence. This applies to that sequence only. Every other sequence still refuses them, and the clock is untouched.

​
Good to know

An email send, a LinkedIn message, an InMail and a connection request all start the clock. A profile view, a follow, a like and a withdrawn invitation do not.Only sends Oneprofile made. A date carried in from another tool is not part of the clock.
No. A sequence’s own earlier messages never count against it, so a cadence runs to the end however short the window is.Only somebody else reaching the contact stops it. That is usually another sequence in the same workspace.
The do-not-contact list is compliance. Those people asked never to hear from you, only a person can take them off it, and no sequence can overrule it.A cooldown is your own pacing choice between sequences that are all allowed to send. You can overrule it for one contact in one sequence.
Yes. The Audience tab’s preview counts them alongside the rows with no address, the ones on the do-not-contact list, and the ones already enrolled.A cooldown never blocks a launch, even when it refuses the whole audience.
They were removed. Accounts you never want contacted go on the do-not-contact list, which accepts a whole domain as well as one address.

Pick a table and a view, and see who a sequence will enrol.

Do not contact

The list Oneprofile will never email, however long ago you last wrote.
