The problem
A morning of adding prospects, one at a time.
An SDR gets a fresh list and spends the morning in Outreach: import the file, match the columns, then add each prospect to the sequence and set the owner.
Owner mapping is where it slips. Prospects land under the wrong rep, replies route to someone who never sent the email, and the manager untangles it later.
The outcome
List to sequence in minutes
Stepwork imports the prospect list into Outreach and enrolls each prospect in the named sequence with the correct owner. The run records who asked, which list it used, and how many prospects were enrolled.
- Each prospect is enrolled in the named sequence.
- Owners follow the mapping in the request.
- Prospects already active in another sequence are skipped and listed.
The process
From prospect list to an active sequence
An SDR posts the list and sequence in Slack. Stepwork enrolls the prospects in Outreach, in the same order every time.
- Step 1
Request it in Slack
An SDR posts the prospect list, the sequence name, and the owner in the sales channel. That message starts the flow, and Stepwork records who asked and when.
- Step 2
Import the list
Stepwork signs in to Outreach and imports the list, matching each column to the right prospect field. If the sequence in the request cannot be found, the run stops.
- Step 3
Enroll in the sequence
Stepwork adds each prospect to the sequence with the owner from the request. Prospects already active in another sequence are skipped.
- Step 4
Confirm and reply in Slack
Stepwork checks the enrollments against the list, then posts the counts back in Slack.
Why Stepwork
Every prospect lands with the right owner
A deterministic agent runs the import and enroll path you recorded in Outreach. Owner mapping comes from the request, not from whoever builds the list that morning.
