# Email Sequence

Generate hyper-personalized, multi-step sequences where every step is A+

Generate multi-touch email sequences that maintain personalization across every message, automatically introducing fresh insights and building upon previous context to create natural, engaging conversation flows.

# Basic Request

```python
import requests

url = 'https://api.autobound.ai/api/external/generate-content/v3.6'
headers = {
    'X-API-KEY': 'YOUR-API-KEY-HERE',
    'Content-Type': 'application/json'
}
data = {
    "contactEmail": "henry@zoominfo.com",
    "userEmail": "daniel@autobound.ai",
    "contentType": "sequence",
    "sequenceNumberOfEmails": 3  # defaults to 3 if not specified
}

response = requests.post(url, headers=headers, json=data)
print(response.text)
```

Here's what was generated with the request above.

> **Email 1: Initial Outreach**\
> Subject: Podcast with Auren / James Roth's success
>
> Hi Henry,
>
> Caught your podcast with Auren on building ZoomInfo—love the growth story.
>
> Recognizing stagnant growth (saw -5% revenue in earnings call) and the hyper-competitive space you're in (HubSpot is moving fast), are you and James confident in your SDRs' processes for pipeline generation?
>
> We've built an engine that auto-generates hyper-personalized emails based on SEC filings, 10-Ks, podcast mentions, LinkedIn posts, tech used, shared experiences, and more—60-120x faster than your #1 SDR.
>
> Open to exploring how we could ensure you have the pipeline needed to beat next year's revenue forecast?
>
> Best,\
> Daniel
>
> **Email 2: Follow-up with New Context**\
> Subject: Re: Podcast with Auren / James Roth's success
>
> Henry,
>
> Following up on my note about accelerating SDR productivity. Just saw you're hiring 18 new SDRs—getting them to full productivity quickly will be crucial given the current market conditions.
>
> Three of your competitors are already using our platform to ramp SDRs 3x faster. Would you be open to a quick demo to see how we're doing it?
>
> Best,\
> Daniel
>
> **Email 3: Final Value-Driven Touch**\
> Subject: Re: Podcast with Auren / James Roth's success
>
> Henry,
>
> One last note—just saw HubSpot's Q3 earnings call where they discussed expanding their contact data offerings post-Clearbit acquisition.
>
> In this increasingly competitive space, your SDRs' ability to personalize at scale could be a key differentiator. We're helping teams like yours generate 2-3x more responses through AI-powered personalization.
>
> If you're open to it, I'd love to show you how we could help ZoomInfo maintain its market leadership through more effective sales outreach.
>
> Best,\

    "contentToRewrite": "Step 1\nSubject: Write hyper-personalized emails with AI\nBody: Hi [prospectName],\n\nI'm one of the Autobound Co-Founders. We just launched a tool that auto-generates hyper-personalized emails with AI (based on LinkedIn, news sources, company initiatives, shared experiences, job changes, & more).\n\nWorks with LinkedIn, Outreach, Salesloft, and Gmail, and signup takes <30 seconds.\n\nIt's the tool my co-founder and I always wanted (we're ex Oracle / Yelp sales), and we just raised $4M to make it happen.\n\nOpen to exploring whether Autobound can boost your team's open and reply rates?\n\nBest,\n[userName]\n\nStep 2\nBody: Friendly follow up, is writing thoughtful, personalized emails something your team struggles with?\n\nOver 4,000+ SDRs/AEs are using Autobound to maximize productivity (we're the #1 recommended AI-email writer on G2 with 200+ 5-star reviews).\n\nAny interest in exploring whether Autobound can help your team generate more replies?\n\nHere's a 1-min explainer vid if you'd like to learn more first.\n\nBest,\n[userName]\n\nStep 3\nBody: One last note - just saw your company is hiring [quantity] SDRs.

## Content Rewriting

The contentToRewrite parameter allows you to provide a template or existing sequence that you'd like to enhance with personalization. For sequences, format your input with "Step X" to separate emails:

```json
{
    "contentType": "sequence",
    "sequenceNumberOfEmails": 3,
    "contentToRewrite": "Step 1\nSubject: Write hyper-personalized emails with AI\nBody: Hi prospectName,\n\nI'm one of the Autobound Co-Founders...\n\nStep 2\nBody: Friendly follow up...\n\nStep 3\nBody: One last note..."
}
```

**Key Features:**

* Only first step needs a subject line (subsequent emails are replies)
* Supports variables like contactName, contactCompanyName, userName
* Can include AI instructions in brackets \[like this]
* Flexible formatting (system identifies structure automatically)

**Example with AI Instructions:**

```json
{
    "contentType": "sequence",
    "sequenceNumberOfEmails": 3,
    "contentToRewrite": "Step 1\nSubject: Write hyper-personalized emails with AI\nBody: Hi prospectName,\n\nI'm one of the Autobound Co-Founders...\n\nStep 2\nBody: Friendly follow up...\n\nStep 3\nBody: One last note..."
}
```

**The system will:**

* Replace variables with actual values
* Follow bracketed instructions
* Maintain sequence flow
* Add personalization while keeping core message
