How it Works
💡 Note: When activating ‘Auto add to sequence’, ‘Auto-show’ is automatically enabled too. Every email reveal uses 1 credit.
‘Auto show’ doesn’t blindly reveal all contacts - it follows your set criteria and only auto-reveals relevant leads. This removes friction from your workflow without taking away control.
Set your automation
Within an existing contact list, select the specific contents on which you would like to activate the automation, or simply click the “Add to sequence” button at the upper panel.
Then, set a sequence automation -
Select contacts - ‘Only new contact’ or ‘All in this page (25 contacts)’ (default if no contact is selected).
Select an email sequence - you can choose an existing sequence from your email sequences list or add a new sequence by typing a new sequence name or by clicking on ‘create a new email sequence’.
Then, click ‘Add contacts to a sequence’ .
Done! You’ll have the option to go back to the automation and edit it based on your needs.
Is there a limit to the number of automations that can be set for each list?
Yes, currently you can set one Auto Add to Sequence automation per list.
This automation applies to any new contact added to the list and ensures they're automatically enrolled in the selected sequence.
Manage your Automation
Via Lists
To manage your automation, click the automation symbol ⚡ (which will be added once you set your first automation) at the upper right side.

When a sequence is linked to automation, a lightning bolt icon ⚡ will appear next to the number of contacts on the main Sequences page:
Identifying Contacts Added via Automation
To see which contacts were added through automation:
Click on the relevant sequence
Go to the Contacts tab.
Look for the ⚡ lightning icon next to the contact's name—this indicates they were added via automation.
You can also click the lightning icon at the top to view the automation that added them.
What Happens when you edit or delete a sequence linked to Automation?
Deleting a sequence that is linked to a live automation will deactivate the automation.
Deactivating a sequence will not pause the linked automation. Contacts will still be added to the sequence, but emails will not be sent.
Discarding a sequence (moving it to the trash) will deactivate the linked automation.
Disable your automation
To disable automation, click on the lightning icon in the upper right corner of your screen to access the automation management panel. From there, you can turn off specific automation on specific lists, using the on/off toggle at any time.

Q: Can Lusha Automations add contacts directly to my CRM sequences or cadences?
A: Lusha Automations integrate seamlessly with CRMs and sales engagement platforms, ensuring smooth data synchronization without disrupting your existing workflow. However, while Lusha syncs contacts and data to your CRM, it does not automatically add contacts to sequences or cadences within the CRM itself.
Sales engagement platforms, like Outreach or Salesloft, will continue to manage their own sequences independently.
