I have a workflow drafted with 4 emails wherein in the 3rd email, I am hoping to move up the contact’s lifecycle stage (from Lead to MQL) IF they click on the CTA button. How do I accomplish this? Note: Regardless if they click on the CTA on the 3rd email or not, I still want them to get the 4th email. If they don’t click it, I want them to remain at their current lifecycle stage (Lead). 9 is the 3rd email and 14 is the 4th email. ![Screenshot 2023-08-02 at 2.20.03 PM.png](https://d2qpr2jzcazej7.cloudfront.net/original/3X/d/b/db0237c1736403e858d57d07add90de1ad075f83.png) ---

Hi @KJavier The delay until action doesn’t give you the option to select a CTA in an email. If contacts in the workflow get all emails regardless, I would suggest creating another workflow with the enrolment trigger “has clicked CTA X” and then set the lifecycle stage. Frank ---

Would this not work? I used if/then branch instead. ![Screenshot 2023-08-03 at 9.15.21 AM.png](https://d2qpr2jzcazej7.cloudfront.net/original/3X/4/1/415d62be5a21349cec8f83bed617cf90a1730d15.png) ---

Hi @KJavier - yes it would but it’s not a “delay until” option and doesn’t impact the workflow, which is why I would keep it in a separate one.
