Sometime I just want to thread one or two messages within a sequence, and not the whole thing. In Yesware, this can be done simply by leaving the subject line blank next template that you want to thread (Yesware will automatically add a re: subject line). To be a valuable option that is comparable to Yesware, Hubspot also needs to add more customizability in threading rather than just all or none. ---

Agreed. For example, your first two emails might be threaded: Email 1 in sequence Subject line: Can we have a quick call, \? Email 2 in sequence Subject line: RE: Can we have a quick call, \? (THREADING ON) Email 3 in sequence Subject line: ROI on your mind? (THREADING OFF) Please upvote šŸ‘ to the šŸ‘‰ if you want to improve your use of HubSpotā€™s sequence templates. Thanks! ---

I agree! We used this feature in Groove and it was awesome! ---

this is a must. all major outbound email systems have thisā€¦ itā€™s a bit shocking to see this lack of basic commonsense in the design of the sequences module. hubspotā€™s ā€˜all or nothing threadingā€™ essentially makes threading useless. You should typically only thread a few emails ā€¦if we have to thread ALL of them you canā€™t test any other subject lines in the entire sequence, thereby rendering the whole data driven AB testing model useless ---

Creating an email cadence is an art. Having a mix of touch points, email subjects, and threading, is important to approaching prospects from all angles. I would love to see Hubspot offer **Email Threading that can be utilized between Cadence Steps - but not every email.** This allows for follow up that can be fwdā€™d while also a sequence that opens new lines of communication. This is also a feature SalesLoft provides and was effective when I used that tool. ---

Hi @RealDR, appreciate you taking the time to submit this idea! Chatting about this with my team, we were wondering if you would be able to provide an example of what you mean by email threading and cadence steps in this case? Thanks! ---

Absolutely - Thanks for the follow up. The ideal cadence involves a strategic mix of bumps (threads) and new emails (non-threads). Therefore, when developing a cold outreach sequence, the most effective will not be 1 long threaded email but would include a few emails that are threaded + new subject lines on new threads. Happy to detail this more over the phone (along with two other pieces of feedback: enabling tokens in email subject line & adding the option to make a sequence manual instead of automatic.) ---

Appreaciate the follow up @RealDR, I have a much clearer understanding now. Iā€™ve shared your feedback with a couple colleagues internally who work a little closer to the Sequences product than I do, they should be in touch soon to chat about this in a little more detail with you. Thanks again! ---

Agree to all of the above ^ This seems like a very simple solution to a lot of peopleā€™s sequencing headaches through Hubspot. OP was a year ago, hoping it can be addressed soon. ---

I agree with everyon on this thread. Hubspot needs the ability to create a sequence with several different email threads. This is standard in Outreach and Saleslost and necessary to be a leading sales automation tool. ---

Hi there, just wanted to pipe in here and echo the comments that others have noted. Ideally I would like to have my first two emails threaded and then my next two would each have their own subject lines. Iā€™m making it work by creating tasks in the sequences after the first two emails reminding me to send a specific template, but definitely takes extra effort to do it this way. It would be great to have more flexibility on what is/isnā€™t chained on sequences. ---

Currently when building Sequences in Hubspot, there is only one setting - either ALL emails are on the same thread, or none of them are. It would be great to be able to toggle on/off whether the sequence is sending to the thread, or sending a new email. For example, after a couple of emails on one thread, we want to send a ā€œWeā€™re closing your enquiryā€ email, so want to be able to have a new Subject line, so a new email. (You can currently set a task to do this, but would be better if it was an automated email) ---

I agree on this. We need this feature. Iā€™m shocked that you can only toggle this among an entire sequence and not an individual email. Major oversight. ---

Threading some and not all would be extremely useful. In addition, the threads donā€™t look like threads in the subject line. The original subject line appears the exact same as the first email. If you send a follow-up email from any other platform, even if the receiver has not replied, the ā€œRe:ā€ shows up. When you start someone in a sequence the sequence shows the ā€œRe:ā€ in the subject line but is not delivered as such. ---

We would like to have the option to choose for every email if we want it to be a new one or threaded to the conversation, instead of being ALL new, or ALL threaded. ---

Yes, I agree. There are manu times I just need to thread 2 emails together, not all of them. This would be a VERY valuable feature. ---

Please add this, forcing the thread of every email in a cadence just doensnā€™t make sense nor does creating a task to send an threaded email. [Next page](https://community.hubspot.com/t/threading-individual-emails-in-sequence/8015.md?page=2)
