Deleting a Sequence

What happens when you delete a sequence and how it affects campaigns.

1 min read 6 sections 5 tags

Deleting a sequence follows a safe two-step process: soft-delete (moves to Trash) and permanent delete.

Soft Delete (Move to Trash)

  • The sequence is hidden from the main list but can be restored.
  • If the sequence is used by RUNNING or PAUSED campaigns, deletion is blocked. You must stop those campaigns first.
  • DRAFT and SCHEDULED campaigns referencing this sequence are automatically archived.

Permanent Delete

  • Only soft-deleted sequences can be permanently deleted.
  • Use the 'Preview Deletion Impact' feature to see what will be affected before proceeding.
  • Permanent deletion removes the sequence and all its versions. This cannot be undone.
  • Completed campaigns that used this sequence retain their analytics — the sequence reference becomes null.
Warning

You cannot delete a sequence that is actively used by RUNNING or PAUSED campaigns. Stop those campaigns first, then delete the sequence.
