    Hi

    I want to create a recursive workflow but I dont want the initial trigger to be ondemand. I followed this post but the initial trigger is a manual on demand call

    http://www.powerobjects.com/blog/2012/11/09/create-recursive-or-scheduled-workflows-in-crm/

    Can we automate that ?

    Many thanks

    Hi Vivek,

    A workflow needs a trigger to start it, so it will need to be either a record being created,updated,deleted, manually by a user, or being started by a user.

    One trick is to register a workflow on delete of a record, and then using bulk delete to schedule records to be deleted. The workflow can then create a new record to be deleted the next time round when it has completed.

    Hope this helps,

    Scott
