VISUAL SEQUENCE CANVAS

Cold email sequences. Visualised.

Drag email steps, conditions, and wait nodes onto an infinite canvas. Connect them to build branching sequences that route leads based on what they do — or don't do. The only cold email platform with a built-in visual sequence builder.

Build flows, not forms

The canvas replaces the linear step list with a spatial builder. Drag Email Step, Condition, Wait, and End nodes from the sidebar onto an infinite canvas. Connect them by drawing edges between handles. Reposition anything at any time. The canvas auto-saves your layout so you pick up exactly where you left off.

Route leads based on behaviour

Condition nodes sit between steps and branch your sequence based on what the prospect does. Did they reply? Go left. Did they open but not respond? Go right. Did they go cold? Route to a re-engagement step. Set the condition, connect the branches, and ForgeSend handles the routing automatically.

Canvas to campaign in one click

When your canvas is ready, apply it to your campaign sequence directly. Email Step nodes become real campaign steps in the order they appear on the canvas, top to bottom. Condition and Wait nodes inform the logic — only email content imports. Edit any step after import in the standard sequence builder.

Apply to sequence?

This will add 3 email steps from your canvas to the sequence.

The only cold email platform with a visual canvas

Instantly, Smartlead, Woodpecker, QuickMail, Snov.io, and Saleshandy all use linear step lists. ForgeSend is the only cold email platform with a built-in visual sequence canvas. No integrations, no third-party tools, no workarounds — it ships inside the campaign builder.

Frequently asked questions

Is the visual canvas available on all plans?
Yes — the canvas is available on all cloud plans and self-hosted deployments.
Does the canvas replace the step list?
No. Both views exist side by side. Toggle between List view and Canvas view in the campaign builder. They share the same underlying steps.
Can I build branching logic that actually executes?
The canvas currently applies linear email steps to your sequence. Conditional branching execution in the sending engine is on the roadmap.
How many nodes can I add?
There is no limit on canvas nodes. Practical sequences typically use 5–15 nodes.
