Hi,  
I have a basic sequence and I relalize now that I need a workflow. Will it work where a workflow is triggered by the events in a sequence?

For example,  
1) Sequence - contact fills out form, gets download email, clicks download link

2) Workfow - looks for people who click the download link above, starts the workflow.

Thanks!

Hey @StPatrick,

Yes this will work as long as the email sent from the form is a marketing email. You can create enrollment triggers off of marketing email clicks inside of a HubSpot workflow like so:

### 1. Go to Workflows

### 2. Click on Create workflow
