Micropost annonymously
We are using microblogs to post and trigger and email to be sent to you users for our communications. We are wondering if anyone has found a way to have emails sent from PROsite when using a micropost but NOT have them sent from a specific person as it triggers and email from the user instead of from the site.
We tried ghost writing, but that only works for communications or things that have a save as draft and not for posting something.
Thanks!

Howdy Kim Tylka! This is an interesting use of MBs. I would think a blog article provides better archiving/tracking overall but interested to see this in action. What type of posts are you going to use this for? General updates or more of an emergency style broadcast?
I have a few customers that have set up Channel Accounts, even one that went as far as creating a team of News Broadcasters (Lord Corporate News Esq, Madame Business Continuity) all with fake personas. This allows them to log into one of those accounts, make a post, and have it come from the company instead of specific people.
Interested to hear the community's take!
We've had this request a few times as well. We use a MB as our "kudos" feed and sometimes users want recognition to come from someone else (a leader, etc.). Because leaders are used to being able to "mirror" as an author in a blog - they assume we can do it in a MB as well. We don't have a successful workaround but it's something we would love to be able to do.
Thanks for your comment. We are utilizing MBs so we can also have emails sent based on which spaces the communication was posted on the MB. I don't know if that makes sense. and Ill be honest, I am still learning this all.
Kim Tylka - makes sense for sure!
I think the easiest route would be to create members inside your Igloo that are the names of said spaces. Similar to Corporate News Space you could create a new member inside the platform called Corporate News and log in to post as that "avatar".
I certainly have ghostwriting for MB on my Santa wish list, Molly Sproatt.
