Enroll Audience
Enroll a whole audience in a sequence. Unlike Enroll Subscribers, there is no 500-contact cap: Sequenzy starts a background run that walks the audience in batches and reports progress. This is how a manual-trigger countdown sequence, such as a Black Friday countdown, gets its audience: enable the sequence, then enroll the audience.
  • Only active contacts with an email address are enrolled. Unsubscribed and bounced contacts are never enrolled.
  • Contacts already active or waiting in the sequence are skipped. Sequences with enrollmentMode: "one_time" also skip contacts who completed or were cancelled before.
  • Late enrollees in a sequence with key-date waits skip the steps whose moment already passed and continue from the next wait (the step’s pastAction).
  • Only one run per sequence can be queued or running at a time.
  • The sequence must be enabled and accepting entrants.
Use POST /api/v1/sequences/{sequenceId}/enroll-audience/estimate with the same audience body to preview the counts without starting a run.

Request

string
required
Sequence ID.
object
required
Who to enroll. Same shape as campaign targetLists.
string | null
Step to start contacts at. Defaults to the first step after the trigger. Cannot be a trigger node.
string | null
ISO 8601 date-time to start the run later, up to one year ahead. The run is created with status: "queued" and scheduledFor set, and can be cancelled before it starts. A past value starts now.
To keep enrolling people who join the audience after this run (new list members, new segment matches) until the countdown ends, set audienceAutoEnroll on the sequence with Update Sequence.

Failure and retry semantics

The run is idempotent per contact: the cursor is committed together with every batch of enrollments, so a retried worker resumes where it stopped and never enrolls the same contact twice. If the run fails after retries, its status becomes failed with an error, and the contacts enrolled before the failure stay in the sequence. Cancelling stops after the current batch and keeps everyone already enrolled.
