    Hi  All,

    Please give your comments, what will happen with workflows  if we change status of record from active to inactive which are already fired but in wait condition?

    e.g Suppose Account Record is having workflow which will create task and will be succeeded after 15 days. On 10th day itself if I deactivate Account record, what will happen with workflow?

    Same thing with workflows of  child entity related to Account(contact which is having parent as account).

    -Regards

    You can add a parallel wait in your workflow to check for the status of the record while it is waiting. If the status of record changes to inactive stop the workflow. This will stop the workflow when the record status is changed and the task will not be created against the inactive record.

    The workflows continue to run. A Task will be created against the inactive Account or the Task will be created against the active Contact of the deactivated Account.
