Hello everyone,

I have a question regarding custom OnDemand Workflows. There is a business requirement, that the user selects one or more records in an entity view and starts a process to send some automated E-Mails based on the information of these records.

My question is:

Is it possible that I create a custom OnDemand workflow, which executes on the selected records of a view (via the native Workflow Ribbon Button of the View), but run the Workflow only once? I need some grouping logic on the selected records so there will be no E-Mail per record but the amount of E-Mails will be less then the selected records...

So technically I need following possibility:

User selects many records of a view

He triggers himself the workflow through the ribbon button on the view

I get all the selected guids in my workflow and run my logic, send my E-Mails

But, the workflow which the user runs is only executed once and not once per selected record

Thanks for any help on that

Regards

John

Hi,

Workflow will run for every record that you will select, unless you will manually call workflow through java script, so you need to implement your logic without workflow, one option could be to read selected records id using parameter and use javascript function to execute your logic and send email to all of the selected record.

Thanks
