6. Click the pencil to edit the email body and subject. 
7. Click Templates.
8.Select the template you wish to use (click the dropdown arrow to select a template from another folder).
9. If your Salesforce Template contains merge fields, remove them and replace them with Ebsta merge fields by clicking Insert Merge Field and select the field you wish to use from the list.
Note: The !AutoSignature merge field is populated with your default Gmail Signature upon sending. Outlook users will need to set up a signature in Salesforce and use the !AutoSignatureSF merge field. This article from Salesforce details how to create a signature:

10. When you are happy with your email, click Save.
11. Create the next step in the cadence i.e. what follow up action should occur by clicking the + button.
12. Decide when the follow up action should occur. By default, the next action will occur after 3 days if there is no response to the first step in the sequence. Use the dropdown menus to amend this.
13. To determine what the follow up action should be, click the + button and then choose to send an email or create a Task in Salesforce.

14. If the next action is to send email, a green action box appears as before. Repeat steps 5-8 to create this follow up email.
If the next action is to add Task to Salesforce, a blue action box appears. Fill in the required fields and click Save. 
15. If you have added an Add Task action within your cadence, you can base any next steps in the cadence on the outcome of the Task by clicking the + button and selecting If Task Closed.
16. Now add logic to the step by clicking the + button. 
17. Use the dropdown menus to determine the logic for the next step in the sequence. For example, if the Task was a call to a prospect and the outcome resulted in a positive discussion, I may want to send out follow up information in an email 1 day after the Task completed. 
18. You can also want to define actions to take place if emails are replied to or if Tasks aren't completed. To do this, simply click the + buttons under If recipient has replied and If Task is not completed in 1 month and add follow up Tasks or emails as above.
19. When you are finished building your cadence, click Save.
