1. In the Cadences tab of the Sales Engagement app, click **New Cadence**.
2. Under Quick Cadence, select the type of outreach you want to include.

3. Provide the details for the outreach. For example, enter a name, description, and optional template for an email.

4. Choose whether to repeat the quick cadence for assigned targets.
    
    Enter how often to repeat and how many times. You can set the quick cadence to stop repeating when a specific engagement occurs. For example, for a phone call, you can stop repeating when a call results in a meaningful connect.

5. Click **Save**.
    
    Your quick cadences are saved in your My Private Cadences folder in the Cadences tab of the Sales Engagement app.
6. Optionally, you can also create an automated action to add targets to the new quick cadence.

When you've created a quick cadence, assign prospects to it by selecting **Add to Cadence** from the Action menu on leads, contacts, and person accounts, or from list views and reports. The outreach task appears in your Work Queue and To Do List so you can follow up later.

You can't view the steps or clone quick cadences.

Note If your Salesforce admin adds a required custom field to the Action Cadence object, you can't create quick cadences. If you see this error, ask your admin to create a validation rule for the custom field instead of setting the field as required.
