Is there a way to pause a Smartlead sequence for a particular lead from Clay? E.g. if we have Smartlead running in parallel to a linkedin campaign, then the linkedin receives a reply, we want to pause the Smartlead sequence via API

Based on the available Smartlead.ai integrations in Clay, you have two options to handle this scenario: 1. Remove the lead from the campaign entirely using the "Remove Lead from Campaign with Smartlead.ai" action. 2. Update the lead's information in the campaign using the "Update Lead in Campaign with Smartlead.ai" action, which allows you to modify lead details and custom fields within a specific campaign. To implement this in your workflow: 1. First use the "Lookup Lead Status in Campaign with Smartlead.ai" action to verify the lead's current status 2. Then use either the Remove or Update action based on your specific needs 3. You'll need to provide: • Campaign ID • Email address of the lead • Any additional fields you want to update (if using the Update action)
