Connect segments to sequences

After you create and activate a segment, connect the segment to a sequence. Leads, opportunities, accounts, contacts, and insights that are connected to the segment automatically start the sequence.

You can connect segments to sequences in your work assignment settings or using the sequence designer.

Prerequisites

Connect a segment to a sequence

  1. Sign in to Dynamics 365 Sales Hub.

  2. In the lower-left corner of the page, select Change area > Sales Insights settings.

  3. Under Sales accelerator, select Work assignment.

  4. Select a Record type.

    The Sequence connected column shows None if no sequence is connected to the segment.

  5. Select a segment that isn't connected to a sequence, and then select Connect sequence.

  6. Select a sequence, and then select Connect.

If none of the sequences listed seems appropriate, create a sequence to connect to the segment.

If you want to connect a different sequence to the segment, disconnect the current sequence first.

Considerations

Keep the following considerations in mind when you're connecting segments to sequences:

  • The application runs on a pooling mechanism and retrieved records are processed at regular intervals. There might be a delay between when a record meets the segment criteria and when it's added to a sequence.
  • Records are segmented only if at least one active segment is connected to a sequence or at least one active segment has an active assignment rule.
