That&#8217;s the only way to detect clicks and, therefore, to stop replies on click.<\/li>\n<li>Make sure you use\u00a0<strong>anchor links<\/strong> (e.g., click <a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\">here<\/a> for more) and not\u00a0<strong>URLs<\/strong> (e.g., https:\/\/www.google.com).

The suppression list we\u2019re going to create in the next section is going to take care of removing people who click on the sequence. Your choice of <strong>No Reply<\/strong>\u00a0here will take care of removing the people who respond.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Why did I choose this way? Why not have everyone pick No Click for the follow-ups and have the suppression list remove people who reply?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>I made my choice because of how GMass processes clicks versus replies. GMass processes clicks instantly; it takes a bit longer for GMass to process replies because it needs to do some <\/em><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gmass.co\/blog\/email-follow-up-find-replies\/\">extra stuff<\/a><\/em><em> (like verifying the replies are real and not auto responders, making sure domains match, and more). So it\u2019s more efficient during the setup process here to dynamically suppress on clicks and let GMass \u201cthink\u201d about replies. If I&#8217;d suppressed on replies, you&#8217;d have to take a pause during this setup process that might last several hours.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Also important: You should <strong>use <\/strong><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gmass.co\/blog\/rich-content-auto-follow-up-email-sequence\/\">rich-text follow-ups<\/a><\/strong><strong>, not plain text<\/strong>. That way, the links can use HTML code, which allows for click tracking. We need click tracking to be able to remove people who clicked from the rest of the follow-up sequence.<\/p>\n<p>Just make sure that, again, you\u2019re using hyperlinked text (e.g., <a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\">Google<\/a>) and not hyperlinks (e.g., <a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\">https:\/\/www.google.com<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>For this sequence, my first two automated follow-ups are both rich-text follow-ups that contain a hyperlink.<\/p>\n<p>That way, if someone clicks on a link in either one OR replies to either one, they\u2019ll be removed from the rest of the sequence.<\/p>\n<p>The final message in the sequence is plain text. I did that because in my case, I didn&#8217;t include a link and it didn&#8217;t matter if it had click tracking. Someone will only receive it if they haven\u2019t clicked on nor replied to any message to that point.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s what my auto follow-up settings look like when I\u2019m all done.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gmass.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/repclk2-autofollowups-tinified.png\" data-rel=\"lightbox-image-9\" data-rl_title=\"\" data-rl_caption=\"\" title=\"\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gmass.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/repclk2-autofollowups-tinified.png\" alt=\"Set up your auto follow-up sequence\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1347\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<h3 id=\"send-the-first-email-qomc\">Send the first email of the campaign to yourself<\/h3>\n<p>Once your messages and all your settings look good, you can initiate sending the campaign.<\/p>\n<p>Remember, since you capped the send at one email per day, you\u2019ll only send to the first row on the spreadsheet: yourself.<\/p>\n<p>So double check all the settings, then <strong id=\"step-2-pausing-your-wpyc\">hit the red GMass button<\/strong>\u00a0to begin the campaign and send the first message to yourself.<\/p>\n<h2>Step 2: Pausing Your Real Campaign to Set Up Your Dynamic Suppression Campaign<\/h2>\n<p>Now that the first email has gone to you, it\u2019s time to set up your dynamic suppression campaign.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"pause-your-campaign-lcyf\">Pause your campaign<\/h3>\n<p>We\u2019re going to <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gmass.co\/blog\/pause-mail-merge-campaign\/\">pause your campaign<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0while we set up the suppression campaign (and then make some key changes to the campaign settings).<\/p>\n<p>After GMass sends the first email from the campaign to your address, open the campaign in the Gmail Drafts folder.

That will then suppress the follow-ups from the real campaign.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s up to you how frequently you want this campaign to recur. <strong>GMass can run it as frequently as hourly<\/strong>.
