dear all
i have a new workflow that should run on creation or deletion of a record of an entity, i need to do two different logics based on type (creation or deletion), but i dont know how to distinguish between creation and deletion when i build the criteria.
for example, i need to send an email (upon deletion), and i need to do assign based on creation, but i cant build the criteria for both scenarios.
can you help please?
thanks,
thanks Ravi and Goutam, i think i can check if the created on is greater than or equal execution-time-1min , then i can consider this a creation, otherwise, if execution-time is greater than created_on, then it is a deletion.
I don't think so. I believe Modified On changes everytime you perform an action. So when the workflow hit delete the modified on would be different than the created On. I have tried this before suggesting and it worked for me. You can refer the above shared screenshot and create the similar workflow and see if it works for you.
Yes Ravi, that's correct for the Crete condition , but if same record without modifying user want to delete, next time when workflow execute for delete workflow again meet create condition instead of delete condition as created on and modified on value does not change for this record , if my understanding is correct.
Its a system functionality wherein you will initially get the created on value on the modified on field i.e. when you create a record, it sets the same date on CreatedOn & ModifiedOn.
Hi Ahmad,
There is no out of box method to distinguish between create & delete but when you create a record the createdon & modified on fields holds the same value so you can check like below
Hope this helps.
Hi Ahmad ,
Is there any specific reason you are doing both the action in same workflow?
I don't think you can get the event in which condition workflow triggerred sitting on OOB workflow steps as the event are nothing but the condition when your workflow is triggering.Its predefined and based on the condition you are aware which action need to be done.
However using plugin or custom workflow context messages you could get this information.
Here is one old thread which you can refer using child workflow.
