How to create workflow which sends email after X days if a certain record is created today in CRM

Posted on by 50

Hi,

Can anyone advice how to do a workflow, which:

1. checks every day if certain conditions are met: contact is active and has a (custom "participation") record created today.

2. wait for 4 days after the participation record has been created.

3. send email to contact who has that participation record created. (this I know how to do)

What else is needed so that this workflow will work??

Thanks for your help in advance!!

Br, Suvi

    Hi,

    As suggested above, you can use the wait/ timeout condition however this will put your workflow in waiting state which may impact your CRM performance.

    There is nothing in CRM to which runs on a periodic basis but there is a thirst party utility Workflow Scheduler Solution. Its a solution which when installed, provides you with entity to schedule the workflow. This requires fetchxml to retrieve the records on which you need to run a workflow.

    Refer: alexanderdevelopment.net/.../updated-solution-for-scheduling-recurring-dynamics-crm-workflows

    Hope this helps.

    you might trigger a workflow on create of participation.

    there enter the "wait" condition.

    after that it might check the precondition and send the mail if still ok.
