Status Lifecycle
| Status | Description | Editable? | Usable in Campaigns? |
|---|---|---|---|
| DRAFT | Initial state. Sequence is being designed. | Yes | No — must be published first. |
| ACTIVE | Sequence has been published at least once. | Yes — changes create a new draft version. | Yes — campaigns use published version. |
| ARCHIVED | Sequence is no longer in use. | No | No |
Publishing a Sequence
Publishing a sequence creates an immutable version snapshot. The version number increments (1, 2, 3...) with each publish. Campaigns reference a specific version, so even if you edit and re-publish the sequence, existing campaigns continue using the version they started with.
Archiving a Sequence
Archived sequences cannot be edited, published, or used in new campaigns. Existing RUNNING campaigns that use this sequence are not affected — they continue using their locked version.
Sequence names must be unique within your organization. If you try to create a sequence with a name that already exists, you'll get a conflict error.
