πŸ”— Sequence

Sequences allow you to chain multiple theme changes together in a predefined order. Instead of creating individual schedules, bundle them into a single sequence with automatic timing between steps.

PRO Feature

Sequences are available exclusively on PRO and PRO Yearly plans.

Why Use Sequences?Direct link to Why Use Sequences?

Sequences are perfect for:

  • Multi-day campaigns: Black Friday β†’ Cyber Monday β†’ Post-sale
  • Seasonal rollouts: Spring β†’ Summer β†’ Fall β†’ Winter themes
  • Product launches: Teaser β†’ Launch β†’ Post-launch themes
  • Holiday promotions: Pre-holiday β†’ Holiday β†’ New Year themes

Instead of remembering to create multiple schedules, set up one sequence and let Leon handle the rest.
