Need help: [Convert] Button to trigger a workflow or custom function

Need help: [Convert] Button to trigger a workflow or custom function

Hi,

I have a "Convert" button where the Sales reps can click on to convert a Lead to Contact. However, I'd like our Sales reps not to be able to convert a Lead to Contact if the lead's email address is blank.

Still new to Zoho, so I could really use your guidance how I can achieve this. 

Thank you.
