Trigger a workflow in a batch job

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 97

Hi Community,

Is it possible to trigger a specific workflow as a periodic batch job? For example, I would like to start the vendor invoice workflow for all pending vendor invoices with a matched status 'Passed'. Currently, unless I am missing something, I must manually start the workflow on each one of them. Would it be possible to schedule a batch job that would somehow start it automatically?

Thanks!

Peter

    Hi Peter,

    Out of the box there is no batch job. You can consider a customization to achieve this.
