Using Zapier
Zapier allows you to automate a lot of common workflows for sequencing. For example, if you use theCalendly-Sell integrationto set up meetings with your prospects, you could use Zapier to automatically include links in the sequence emails.
There are three actions you must make, first you must create a trigger, next find a lead or contact, then stop all enrollments for that lead or contact. In the following process we will use a lead as the example.

- Open theCalendlyapp and clickTrigger.
- Click theTrigger eventdropdown menu and chooseInvitee createdInstant.
- ClickContinue.
To use the "Find Lead" search to find a lead with an invitee email in Sell

- Enter the Lead ID, the company name of the lead, the lead's first and last name, and their email address.
- Click the这一步应该考虑吗a "success" when nothing is founddropdown menu and chooseFalse.
- If the lead hasn't been created yet, select the checkbox forCreate Zendesk Sell lead if it doesn't exist yet?
- ClickClose.
To stop all sequences for that lead
- Click the actionStop all sequence enrollments in Zendesk Sell, and expandSet up action.
