# How to add a manual task to a sequence

> Combine automation with a personal touch: add a task or call step so a person follows up in the middle of a sequence.

To add a manual task to a sequence, add a **Task** step, write the instructions, and set the priority, assignee, queue, and due time. The sequence waits until the task is resolved.

## What this gets you

* You combine automation with a personal touch, so the sequence waits while a person acts.
* The task lands in your queue with instructions, a priority, and a due time.

## Steps

1. In the sequence editor, add a **Task** step where a person should act.
2. Write instructions for the recruiter completing it.
3. Choose the priority, assignee, and task queue.
4. Set a relative due time in minutes, hours, or days.
5. Save. The sequence waits for the task before it continues.

## Tips

* A sequence made only of tasks doesn't need a messaging sender.
* Open the pending task directly from a contact's active sequence.

## Ideas to get more from it

* Add a call task a few days after an email.
* Create tasks for your highest-priority contacts only, using a condition.
* Build a task-only sequence when you don't need a sender.
