I believe the comment with the link is now on a previous (4) page in the thread comments.

@glencornell I had gotten my sales director to sign up for the beta. She’s since departed from our company and I’m unsure where that notification will go to get our company signed up for the beta. Please advise - I want to jump on this asap when it’s released. ---

Hi all! Sorry just now catching up after some time out. Everyone who has signed up will be receiving access to the beta today. We are going to start opening up this beta in February. Signups will be more accessible to folks by speaking directly to their POC at HubSpot, and we’ll begin providing the feature in a more systematic way. We have decided to make some tweaks to the design, and behavior. Soon, all tasks for sequences users in Sales Professional and Enterprise will have the ability to pause a sequence until the task is completed. This will be the default behavior for tasks. Checking the box (seen below) will be a way to determine specific tasks that are not required for completion. All of your current sequences will have this box checked as soon as we launch the feature, as we don’t want to change the behavior of sequences you’ve already built! ![builder.jpg](https://d2qpr2jzcazej7.cloudfront.net/original/3X/4/6/46628d85cf49884c63a3f932ea88cebf13124fa9.jpeg) ---

Hey Glen, I just filled the beta form. I would love to see your beta invitation and in case you want any feedback, me and my team are available for a call. Thanks Artash ---

This feature is soon moving to a public beta. We plan to have it completely rolled out to all Sales Professional and Sales Enterprise customers by March 3rd. Going forward, folks can request access directly from their customer succes rep at HubSpot! Once this is out, all tasks will require task copletion before progressing a sequence. You will still have an option to forgo completion as a requirement on each and every task step, but we have decided to change the default behavior once this goes live. Here’s an updated view for how this will look in sequences: ![](https://d2qpr2jzcazej7.cloudfront.net/original/3X/9/f/9f94218c95358fb790d811d492b9fe613b7f2767.jpeg) ---

Is it just me or do mid-sequence tasks seem pretty useless without this feature? For this reason I plead with you to add it to the Sales Starter package. We have a 2 person team but would really love to have this feature. Sequences is the whole reason we signed up for Hubspot! ---

Would be so helpful if this SAME THING could be done within workflows!!! [Previous page](https://community.hubspot.com/t/require-task-completion-before-progressing-a-sequence/11206.md?page=2)
