Sequences are outreach campaigns that sales teams use to reach out to contacts over a planned period of time.

Use the Add Contacts to a Sequence endpoint to add contacts to the existing sequences in your team's Apollo account.

A contact is a person that your team has explicitly added to your database. Only contacts can be added to sequences. To enrich a person's data, call the People Enrichment endpoint. Then, to add the person as a contact in your database, call the Create a Contact endpoint.
