  Hi all,

  i want to create a Workflow that informs a User if an account

  - new created
  - deleted
  - Status changed
  - some field values changed

  But

  a) i need to know, which of the 4 startcritearias started the wf (new, deleted, etc.)

  b) if a field value changed. Which of the (in the list auf fields that a change will start the WF) has changed, and/or what was the old value und what is the new value.

  f.e.
  The field "Type" was changed from xxxxx to xxxxxxxxx
  The field "Name" was not changed

  If if could get the old and the new values in the WF i could compare the old and the new value and then i could say which one changed.

  The only way, that it will work is, that i create 5 separate WFs

  • one, which triggers on Create
  • one, which triggers on Status change
  • one, whicht triggers on delete
    
  • one, which triggers on change the field type
  • one, which triggers on change the field name ... but i then still have no old value to inform the receiver of the mail, from which old value it changed to the new value

  What if use: Start at: BEVORE Fields change??

  Many thx for any hints.
