Can a sequence run for ever?

Hey Fellow ManyChatters

I am building a coaching flow, that checks in with my clients every morning during their time of relation to my business.

I have an onboarding / permission flow that ends up adding the user to subscribe to my coaching sequence.

Right now I have a TON of the same steps in the sequence (an automation trigger that runs the daily check in).

But instead of having the same step duplicated (Feature request: copy step in sequence 😅) could I have a sequence with just ONE step, and remove and add the client every day, to re-trigger the same frist step of the sequence everyday?

  • or maybe there is another way I haven’t come across yet for such a use case :-) 

Thanks in advance for your ideas, reflections and time :-)

Instead of subscribing a contact to a sequence, you can add a tag to them with “example: daily check”.

Then, create a rule where every time a tag is added to a contact, start the automation “X”. 

 

The automation should be something like this:

    Hey, ​@asgerlaursen 

    I’m not sure what you’re trying to do with that sequence, but you can try using the “contact events” trigger.

    When you’re creating a new automation, select “contact events”, then choose the best trigger for your situation.

     

    Let me know if this helps 🙂

    Dear ​@rodrigo_silvano 

    Thank you for your reply - and sorry for the confusing description.

    My clients have an online program they follow everyday - every morning they get a message asking about their goals for the day, what they are focused on etc. All via ManyChat.

     

    They are following the same program everyday (connected to dynamic content from my backend).

    I just wonder if this is the smartest way to have an ongoing sequence - or if I could have something smarter, for an ongoing course. How would the contact event work instead of this? 

     

    Thank you

    ​@rodrigo_silvano thanks man for creating an example for me- this makes sense, and is a clever way of using tags. I will play around with it, and see if I can make it flow!

     

    Thank you!
