Switching an automated email in a sequence to Manual

Hey Hubspot Gurus,

Starting point:

I have an existing Sequence, where one of the emails is set to launch automatically.

Question:
How do I change the email from Automatic to Manual?

Thanks

Hi @MarketFit,

If you’re looking for an option to convert the existing automated email into a manual one, that’s not possible. You would have to click the + sign in the sequence editor at the correct place, then ‘Manual email task’:

After adding the manual email task, remove the automated email.

Best regards!

That’s what I suspected, but was hoping for a clever workaround. Thanks for the help.
