Start a sequence on behalf of another HS user

After assigning a Lead to a HS Sales User, I'd like to start a Sequence on their behalf, such that the email in the sequence has the FROM email of the HS Sales User, not me (the initator of the sequence).

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE! I want to be able to simply drop contacts into an SRD's sequence so they can wake up every day and just work the tasks created by the sequence.

Our prior sales platform had this feature, but switching to Hubspot has made this task now manual for our reps..

It's 2023 now. Wonder why this faeture hasn't been added yet after all the sentiments from users.

Because they want to force you to pay for it at the Enterprise level.

Badly needed. Any update from the Hubspot R&D team with its implementation?

Please add this feature. Any efficient sales team that is large enough to have Sales Administrators or Personal Assistants, *needs* this functionality so that the sales people can focus on being in conversations, not be typing on their keyboards.

Just sharing what I did as a workaround. (might work or not with the rest of us here). 
Note: For our use case, we only have one person doing sales stuff so this might not work for larger firms. 

1. Created a dummy user with a valid email address (ie: info@company.com) - the email must be a shared mailbox where anyone can access. Would just serve as a repository for email replies from sequence emails. 
2. Provided the dummy user the necessary perms to be able to enroll leads/contacts to sequences. 
3. Assign a sales seat to the dummy user (Yeah, we wasted one paid seat just to get this done)
4. Connect the dummy user's email address to HS
5. Start enrolling leads to sequence using the dummy user's acct (From address = dummy user's email address) - so any replies goes into that mailbox. 
6. Important!!! - Configure a forwarding rule from the dummy user's mailbox to forward inbound replies to the sales person's mailbox so he/she receives those. From there, the sales person does a one-to-one email to move things forward. Again, we only have one sales person so this works for us at least for the time being.

Hard coding the sender when enrolling a contact in a workflow prevents a huge number of opportunities for companys that want to scale. If you have 30 workflows that enroll contacts with a branch for every sales person (and let's say you have 10 sales people), you now have to update the 30 workflows every time a new person is hired. Not the mention there's a branch limit of 20 which means the moment I hit 20 sales people I now have to recreate the 30 workflows. Oh if boss man wants another email sequnce I now have to create two workflows to do the same thing. 

 

We're moving things over to Apollo where this functionality exists in the UI and the API. It's been 4?? years since this idea was originally introduced!

This would be incredibly useful for our team where we have a sales ops person managing this for a few sales directors. Is there an update on this feature?

Did they ever implement that?

For those of you that are Master Admin users, one (slightly painfull) workaround is to log in as the user from the User Admin space, and enroll contacts while logged in as that user.
