# To-do tasks in Sequences

How to use To-do tasks for internal reminders inside sequences.

To-do tasks allow you to create internal reminders that keep you accountable for the non-automated actions in your outbound process. They ensure you never miss a manual step or a follow up that requires your attention.

## How to add a To-do inside a sequence

1.  Open the sequence and click **Add Step**
    
2.  **Select the step** type named To-do

## Key behaviors

-   To-do tasks do not send any communication to contacts
    
-   They appear in your Tasks section with due dates and contact context
    
-   No step will proceed until the To-do is completed if it is placed inside a sequence
    
-   They help you maintain control over qualitative outreach moments that require manual input
    

## Examples of usage

-   Review prospect engagement before triggering the next step
    
-   Prepare personalized materials before scheduling a call
    
-   Add internal notes when additional research is needed
    
-   Remind yourself to check CRM updates before pushing leads forward
    

## When to use To-do tasks

Use them whenever a human touchpoint or validation is needed. To-do tasks prevent blind automation and force you to intervene at the right moments, improving the quality of your outbound execution.
