I’m new to Sequences. I’m used to Keap where you can delay the start of a sequence or the emails in a sequence by a certain number of days AND select the day of the week it will go - simply and easily.  
I’m told that feature isn’t available in SH Professional - only through some workaround at a higher level.  
Sequences aren’t that useful to me if I don’t have control of when they go beyond enrollment date.

Hi @DSBrown ,

So, I haven’t personally used KEAP, but it sounds like a really handy feature to have. In HubSpot, what people are referring to as part of the workaround is using **sequence enrollment via workflows**. This gives you much more flexibility since you can use workflow controls alongside sequences. It’s a bit of a messy workaround, but here’s how it works in your case with SH Pro:

- **Delaying Sequences in HubSpot** :

- **Selecting Specific Days** :

- **Raise a Feature Request** :

Hopefully, this helps clarify things and points you in the right direction! Let me know if I misunderstood your query or if you have any follow-up questions.

Stay Awesome & Keep Doing it BIG 🔥

It would be hugely helpful if the HubSpot team would publish the dates they specifically recignize as holidays so we can account for them when planning our sequences. Thank you!
