Workflow not triggering when Lead Owner updated via Button

Workflow not triggering when Lead Owner updated via Button

Hi all,

We've created a Button within Leads with a Custom Function to update the Lead Owner to a specific user.  We want to do it this way as we limit some users access to fields.

On the back of this, we've created a Workflow to generate a notification email when a Lead matching certain conditions is passed to the user.  Unfortunately this doesn't work when the button is pressed, and only triggers the Workflow if you update the Lead Owner manually.

Is there a way we can get around this?


Thank you
