# Deactivate sequence

> Stop an active Apollo sequence and pause its contacts.

`deactivateSequence` stops a sequence selected by exact name, ID, or `{ id }`.

```ts automations/deactivate-apollo-sequence.automation.ts theme={null}
import { automation, onHttpRequest } from "automate.ax"
import { deactivateSequence } from "automate.ax/apollo"

export default automation("Pause an Apollo sequence", () => {
  onHttpRequest({ scope: "automation" })
  deactivateSequence({ sequence: "Outbound follow-up" })
})
```

`sequence` is required and optional `account` selects the binding. Returns a
mutation receipt with `sequenceId`, steps, and provider state. Deactivation
pauses contacts; it does not remove them or mark them finished.
