# How to turn a one-off message into a sequence

> Turn a one-off message into an automated follow-up without rewriting it: keep the message and sender, and add the next step.

To turn a one-off message into a sequence, convert the message you're writing into the first step of a sequence, keeping its message, subject, sender, and linked job, and add the follow-up.

## What this gets you

* You turn a message you've already written into an automated follow-up without recreating it.
* The message, subject, sender, and linked job carry over.

## Steps

1. Start writing your one-off message.
2. Choose to convert it into a multistep sequence. Jobin keeps the message, subject, sender, and linked job.
3. Choose the delay before the follow-up, in minutes, hours, or days.
4. Choose the channel for the next action: email, social message, invitation, or SMS.
5. Jobin creates the message, wait, and follow-up stages. Open the unfinished follow-up to edit it, then launch.

## Ideas to get more from it

* When a one-off message works well, convert it so every future contact gets the same follow-up.
* Set the follow-up delay in minutes, hours, or days.
