Hi Community,

I’d like to share some updates on the current beta for Enterprise customers and the upcoming features for Professional customers! A the bottom I’ve included a view of the designs we are currently planning and working towards for the Professional tier automation in Sequences.

**Sales/Service Enterprise feature: Enroll in sequence and unenroll from sequence workflow actions:**

- We now have over 180 active beta participants using the feature!
- We are making some slights tweaks to the working and the UI, including a link to a Knowledge Base aticle that explains details on types of trigger criteria to avoid
- We are implementing internal monitoring to be made aware of concerning usage that as potential for abuse. This will include any types of Workflows that will trigger more than 100 contacts to be enrolled in a sequence from the same criteria. We will work to make this more clear in the product, but while this feature does provide full flexibility in Workflows, we strongly discourage the use of this feature to enroll lists on contacts, or to create trigger criteria that would result in high volumes of proactive outreach

**Sales/ Service Professional feature: Embedded automation within Sequences settings**

- This functionality will allow for automation via Workflows directly within the settings of any Sequence
- The triggers here are more limited, but we feel cover a vast majority of the use-cases that we are excited to support!
- We have made good progress from our research and internal alignment, and have broken ground on initial development
- We’ve finished development to include a new “Automation” tab to Sequences
- There are still several kinks and use-cases we need to work out in the designs before we have full confidence in all the details for how this will ultimately function, but we are feeling gooing about the general direction!
- Here is a video showcasing for this functionality may look like. **This video is only showing designs, these are not yet features in beta** : [https://share.vidyard.com/watch/MJGiky5UM9V3chQSm9krXf](https://share.vidyard.com/watch/MJGiky5UM9V3chQSm9krXf)?
