# Create a Message Sequence / Update Existing Message Sequences

You can create new message sequences or make updates to message sequences from the ["Sequences"](https://www.big-brain.co/app/linkedin-outreach#sequences) tab of the Linkedin Outreach app. 

## Create a New Sequence

From the Sequences section, select "Create a Sequence." Give the sequence a name and select which channel it will come from. 

You can add text replacements such as {First Name} and {Company} to dynamically populate those fields with personalized information. Read more about how to [Personalize with Text Replacements](/apps/linkedin-outreach/messages/personalize-with-text-replacements.md). 

### Linkedin - Connection Requests with Follow Ups

Write your messages and choose the number of days between follow ups. Prospects must accept your connection request in order to receive follow ups. 

{% hint style="info" %}
The connection request message is limited to 300 characters.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}
The days between messages will default to 3 days if left blank.&#x20;
{% endhint %}

### Sales Navigator - inMail

Write an inMail Subject and an inMail body.&#x20;

{% hint style="info" %}
inMails can be sent regardless of whether you are connected or not.&#x20;
{% endhint %}

There are no follow up messages to inMails. Where a connection request sequence should nurture a prospect over time, an inMail message should include a full pitch.&#x20;

{% hint style="danger" %}
You cannot use text replacements such as {First Name} and {Company} in the inMail Subject.&#x20;
{% endhint %}

## Edit an Existing Sequence

You can view your existing sequences from the Sequences tab.&#x20;

Clicking edit will reveal a sequences modal. You can make edits to your existing sequences here. Click "Save edits" when finished editing.&#x20;

{% hint style="info" %}
Changes to your messages take affect immediately. However, if you sent a connection request with an older message 6 weeks ago and they accept it today - **the date displayed in Linkedin will be the date they accepted the connection request and NOT the date you sent the connection request.** This does not mean older messages are continuing to send.
