How can I edit and send manual email using sequence?

I’ve created a sequence which consists of 3 manual email in one thread, when I’ve launched the sequence, HubSpot has created for me 2 tasks, one with checkbox and another named ‘Sequence Activity’. When I click on the second task and click on ‘Actions’ and then ‘Edit Sequence’, the step is unclickable, I can’t edit or do anything. The question is, where can I edit and personalize email for this contact before I click the task as complete and it will be send to the next step?

Hi @val_spot_on can you please share a screenshot of the second task? It would be helpful to understand what’s happening so we can provide a solution.

Hey Jennifer, here you go. I would appreciate any suggestions!

@val_spot_on it looks like this one can’t be edited because it’s already complete, do you have one that isn’t complete?

or are you trying to edit it after completing it?

If it’s a manual email task, then you would need to go to the contact record, click email and compose your email and/or select a template to personalize before marking the task complete.

Hi @val_spot_on

Just adding to @Jnix284 questions, you have a sequence that consists of tasks, correct?

Could you maybe share the full breakdown of your sequence steps? it should look something like this…

That means you would go into your tasks, work through your task queue and then send emails manually, this isn’t done via “editing a sequence”.

Hey Frank, thank you, I’m having a manual email task like this. Based on my prior experience, I was thinking that the sequence will notify me and prompt me to edit the step for each contact, so the email will be as one thread. But as I understand I need to send it through the tasks and emails will be send separately.

Thanks for the additional insight @franksteiner79, it sounds like there might’ve just been a misunderstanding about how the manual tasks are designed to work. I’m glad to hear everything is sorted @val_spot_on :raising_hands:
