Steam Input is designed in a way that does not support executing sequences of inputs. That is by intention, because many people would use this to cheat. Lot of games do not allow this kind of automation, which would lead to ban them without realization they were not allowed to do. Then Valve would get blame to support cheating from users and developers.
I learned about it when trying to do it too (but for building a menu to play offline RetroArch game emulation, not to cheat). My suggestion is to use a different software to automate this kind of input sequences.
Setting a toggled hold to repeat auto button is about as close as I feel I get to cheating on Steam input configurations.
