Unenroll a contact from a sequence

When you enroll a contact in a sequence, that sequence will immediately execute the first step. Contacts can then be unenrolled from that sequence automatically or manually.

Automatic unenrollment

• The contact replies to one of the emails in your sequence. In most cases, out-of-office replies will not cause unenrollment.
• The contact sends an email to you, not as part of the sequence, from the email address that was enrolled.
• The contact sends an email to you from an alias of the email address enrolled in the sequence. This activity will not appear on the contact's timeline.
• The contact is associated with the same company as another contact who already replied to a sequence email. This will occur if you selected the Unenroll contacts from the same company checkbox in your sequence settings. 
• The contact books a meeting with you, or books through a meetings link in one of the sequence steps, even if it's not your meetings link. Meetings booked via the Schedule tab on the contact record or directly on an integrated Google Calendar will unenroll the contact if the user whom the contact books with is the same user who originally enrolled the contact in the sequence.
• The contact unsubscribes via the unsubscribe link in the sequence.
• The contact's email address bounced, likely due to an incorrect email address.

Additionally, a contact can be unenrolled from a sequence automatically if one of the following occurs in your HubSpot account:

• The sequence is deleted from your HubSpot account.
• The user who created the sequence is downgraded or deleted from your HubSpot account.

Out-of-office replies

The sequences tool can detect certain automated replies based on the response code from the email server. In the following cases, out-of-office replies are excluded from the sequence and your contacts will remain enrolled:
