Multi-step sequences with conditions
Multi-step sequences that stop on reply
A Pink Post sequence is a first email plus follow-ups, each sent after a delay you choose and only if its condition is met: always, no reply, opened, not opened, clicked or bounced. Any reply stops the sequence for that prospect, and follow-ups stay in the same email thread.


Why it matters
Follow up automatically, at the right moment, without spreadsheets or reminders.
A campaign is a sequence of steps. Each step has a wait (in days) after the previous one and a send condition: always, only if no reply yet, only if opened, only if not opened, only if clicked, or only if bounced. Follow-ups can go out in the same email thread.

Under the hood
How it works
Conditions per step
Each step checks the prospect's history before sending. "No reply" is the usual follow-up condition; "opened" and "clicked" only work if you turn tracking on.
Same mailbox, same thread
Follow-ups are sent from the mailbox that sent the first email, with reply headers set, so they appear as one conversation.
Placeholders and spintax
Write {first_name|there} to fall back to "there" when a field is empty, and {Hi|Hello} to vary wording.
| Setting | Value |
|---|---|
| Step conditions | always, no_reply, opened, not_opened, clicked, bounced |
| Stop rule | Any reply stops all later steps |
| Delays | Days between steps, sent inside the send window |
| Personalisation | Placeholders with fallbacks, spintax, AI intros with your own key |

Tip 1
Two follow-ups spaced 3 and 5 days apart is a sensible default for blogger outreach.
Tip 2
Open-based conditions need open tracking, which is off by default (see Tracking toggles).

Where multi-step sequences with conditions fits in link building outreach
Pink Post runs a link building campaign in seven steps, from prospect list to a live link that keeps being checked. Here is where this feature does its work.

Edit the pitch and one or two follow-ups with conditions, placeholders and spintax; test subjects with A/B variants.
- Step 4
Send safely
Emails go out at a safe pace with rotation, warm-up, limits and DNS checks.

FAQ
Questions, answered
How many follow-ups should I add?
For link building, one or two follow-ups 3–5 days apart usually work best.
Do out-of-office replies stop the sequence?
Out-of-office replies are detected separately so you can decide what to do with them.
Can I edit a running sequence?
Yes. Changes apply to emails not yet sent.
Does it work with Gmail and Outlook mailboxes?
Yes. Pink Post works the same with Gmail, Google Workspace, Outlook, Zoho, Hostinger and any SMTP/IMAP mailbox you connect.
Is multi-step sequences with conditions on the free plan?
Yes. Every plan includes it; plans differ by mailboxes, prospects, emails per month, users and live link checks. Free has 1 mailbox and 300 emails a month, Solo $19 has 3 mailboxes, Pro $39 has 10 and Agency $129 has 30.
How is multi-step sequences with conditions different from a cold email tool?
Cold email tools are designed for sales pipelines. In Pink Post every feature feeds a link deal: replies move deals, deals hold prices, and live links keep being checked, so the result of the campaign is a list of live links with their cost.
