# Enable sequence

`POST /sequences/{sequenceId}/enable`

Activates a sequence and opens it for new enrollments. If it was paused, held subscribers continue from their current step and due waits are queued gradually.

## Path parameters

- `sequenceId` string, required

## Response `200`

Sequence enabled successfully

- SequenceActionResponse
  - `success` boolean
  - `message` string
  - `sequenceId` string
  - `status` 'draft' | 'active' | 'paused' | 'archived' — Stored lifecycle status. Do not read literally: a sequence can be active while enrollmentPaused blocks new subscribers. Branch on effectiveStatus instead.
  - `enrollmentPaused` boolean — Present for enable/disable and enrollment pause/resume actions.
  - `effectiveStatus` 'draft' | 'live' | 'enrollment_paused' | 'paused' | 'archived' — Resolved run state, and the single field to branch on. live accepts new subscribers and advances existing recipients; enrollment_paused advances existing recipients only; draft, paused, and archived do neither.
  - `acceptsNewEnrollments` boolean — Whether new subscribers can enter the sequence right now.
  - `processesExistingEnrollments` boolean — Whether subscribers already inside the sequence keep advancing and receiving steps.
  - `effectiveStatusSummary` string — One plain-language sentence describing the run state, safe to show a user verbatim.

## Other responses

- `400` — Validation error, including missing Stripe connection for discount sequences
- `401` — Unauthorized
- `403` — No company selected
- `404` — Sequence not found
