In Sequences today, task completion is NOT required before progressing onto the next step in a sequence. For a sequence with multiple email steps, call tasks, and social touchpoints, this means that if a task step is not completed, future emails and tasks will still get sent or created.

We’ve heard from our users that there should be an option to require that a task be completed before sending the next email in a sequence, or before creating another net new task.

To solve this, we’re evaluating support for this feature in Sequences:
