Use the outreach queue

See what’s scheduled next and plan your email outreach with ease

Learning Objective

By the end of this guide, you'll know how to access the Outreach Queue, view all scheduled steps across campaigns grouped by day, filter by campaign, contact, company or sender, and refresh the view so you can plan daily sending volume and avoid overshooting sending limits.

Why This Matters

Managing multiple campaigns across different sender accounts is complex. Without visibility into what's scheduled, you risk:

  • Overshooting sending limits and triggering spam filters

  • Uneven sending distribution (sending too much on some days, too little on others)

  • Lack of control over what goes out and when

The Outreach Queue solves this by giving you a preview of your outbound flow across all campaigns in one place.

Prerequisites

Before using the Outreach Queue:

  • You have active campaigns with scheduled steps

  • Campaigns are not paused – Only active campaigns appear in the queue

What Is the Outreach Queue?

The Outreach Queue is a campaign planning tool that displays all your scheduled steps in a scrollable table grouped by day.

What you can do:

  • ✅ See all scheduled outreach activities across campaigns

  • ✅ Skip a pending step for an individual lead directly from the queue

  • ✅ Move a lead to the top of the queue

  • ✅ Group steps by day and expand/collapse each section

  • ✅ Filter by campaign, contact, company, or sender

  • ✅ Refresh the list anytime to get latest predictions

  • ✅ Click on contacts, companies, or campaign names to explore more

The queue has these columns:

  • Activities in queue – the step or condition, the step number in the sequence, and when it's scheduled

  • Lead

  • Company

  • Campaign

  • Sender

How to Use the Outreach Queue

View scheduled steps

The Outreach Queue displays all upcoming steps in a table, grouped by day (for example, "Yesterday", "Today", "Tomorrow").

Screenshot

Conditions also appear as rows (for example, "Accepted invite within 21 days?"). The steps that come after a condition appear once the condition has been checked.

Expand or collapse days

Use the arrow next to a day (for example, Today) to expand or collapse that day’s scheduled steps. Tip: you can hold Shift while clicking to collapse/uncollapse all.

Screenshot

Filter the queue

Use the filters at the top right to narrow the queue: All Campaigns, All contacts, All companies, and All senders.

Click a filter, then select or unselect items in the dropdown (you can also search). For example, select one or more senders to see only their scheduled steps.

Screenshot

Refresh the queue

Click the Refresh icon to reload the latest predictions. Since campaigns can change at any time (leads added, campaigns paused/resumed, schedule changes), refreshing helps ensure you’re viewing the current schedule.

Screenshot

Move a lead to the top of the queue

Hover over a scheduled step and click the double-arrow icon (Move the lead at the top of the queue). The step moves to the top of the queue and goes out at the next sending cycle if capacity allows.

Click on items for more details

Click on:

  • Contact name – Opens the lead panel with full contact info

  • Company name – Shows company details

  • Campaign name – Opens the campaign in a new tab

This lets you quickly investigate or adjust specific steps without leaving the queue.

How the Outreach Queue Helps with Campaign Planning

The Outreach Queue gives you a preview of your outbound flow.

It factors in:

  • Campaign schedules

  • Sending limits per account

  • Active/paused campaign status

This helps you:

✅ Plan daily sending volume – See what goes out each day to avoid spikes

✅ Manage multiple senders – Balance workload across team members

✅ Avoid overshooting limits – Stay within daily sending caps to protect sender reputation

✅ Get visibility before sending – Review what's scheduled before it happens

Use cases:

Scenario 1:

Avoid sending limit violations

You have 3 campaigns scheduled. The Outreach Queue shows a high volume for Monday, exceeding your daily limit. You pause one campaign or adjust schedules to stay within limits.

Scenario 2:

Balance team workload

Filter by sender and see that one teammate has significantly more scheduled steps than others. You reassign leads or redistribute senders to balance workload.

Scenario 3:

Preview upcoming week

Expand each day to see your outreach volume for the week. Adjust schedules to ensure consistent daily sending rather than bursts.

Things to Keep in Mind

1. View up to 1,000 future steps

The queue shows a maximum of 1,000 upcoming steps. If you have more, only the nearest 1,000 appear.

2. Step content isn't shown

You can see which step is scheduled but not the actual email or LinkedIn message content.

3. Conditions show as rows

A condition row shows a lead waiting for that condition to be checked. The steps that follow it appear once the condition has been checked.

4. The queue follows your campaign settings

The queue reflects current campaign settings. When campaigns change (paused, new leads added, schedule adjustments), click Refresh to see the latest schedule.

💡 Bottom line: The queue is predictive, not final. It shows what's planned based on current settings, not what will definitely send (since campaigns can change).

Troubleshooting

Issue: No steps appear in the Outreach Queue

Fix:

  • Verify campaigns are active (not paused)

  • Check that campaigns have leads scheduled to receive steps

  • Refresh the queue to load the latest data

  • Ensure campaigns have future steps (if all leads have completed sequences, the queue will be empty)

Issue: Steps are missing for a specific sender

Fix:

  • Clear the filters to view all campaigns, contacts, companies and senders

  • Verify the sender account is active and connected in Settings → Sending Settings

  • Check that campaigns using that sender are active

Issue: Queue shows steps that already sent

Fix:

  • Refresh the queue, it may be showing outdated data

  • The queue is predictive; if a step was sent after the last refresh, it may still appear briefly until the next refresh

Issue: Can't see the content of scheduled steps

Fix:

  • Step content isn't shown in the Outreach Queue

  • To view step content, go to the campaign → Sequence and review each step manually

Optimization Tips

Check the queue daily: Make it part of your morning routine to review what's sending today and adjust if needed.

Use sender filters to balance workload: If managing a team, filter by each sender to ensure workload is distributed evenly.

Refresh before making decisions: Always refresh the queue before making changes to campaigns to ensure you're working with the latest data.

Plan sending volume proactively: Look ahead to the next 3-5 days to spot days with high sending volume and adjust schedules to smooth out spikes.

Click through to investigate: If a step looks unusual (wrong time, unexpected campaign), click the campaign name to investigate and fix.

Combine with sending limits: Cross-reference the queue with your sending limits (Settings → Sending Settings) to ensure you stay within safe thresholds.

Export for external planning: Take screenshots or manually note high-volume days to plan team capacity or adjust other marketing activities.

Watch condition rows: Condition rows show leads waiting on a condition. Review campaign reports to track conditional engagement (clicks, replies).
