Reasons why a sequence can be on pause for a prospect

⚠️ Received a reply from a prospect to one of email type of steps. Those will be on the replies tab for you to choose how to process them

⚠️ Received a reply from a prospect's colleague. A corresponding To-do item will be in the Action Center for you to choose what action to take next

⚠️ Broken merge field in your message will also put a sequence for a prospect on pause. A corresponding To-do item will be in the Action Center for you to fix it either by removing *Merge Field* from your message, or by filling out required field directly in Salesforce

⚠️ Owner of a prospect has been changed in Salesforce. A corresponding To-do item will be in the Action Center for you to perform an action so a sequence proceeds

⚠️ You can manually pause a sequence for any of your recipients using mass actions or via the Sidebar

⚠️ Received a meeting invite or meeting confirmation

⚠️ Lead has been converted to a Contact in Salesforce
