    Hello All,

    I am using CRM 2011 and I am trying to send a recurrent e-mail every monday. So far I have created a custom entity with a "Next Scheduled" field and the following workflow:

    Wait until Recurring Activity: Next Schedule on [1 Minute Before Recurring Activity:Next Schedule], then:

            Send email: Create New Message

            Create: Recurring Activity //Here I update then Next Schedule Field =  Next Schedule + 7

    I have this process start when a Record is created. My main goal is to send an email as a remainder on mondays. However, so far I have not been able to get it to work. Anyone has any ideas ?

    If its allways a 7 day wait, you could do without the entity and just reactivate the workflow with a child entity workflow setting.

    I don't have "Timeout". Is this part of CRM 2011 ?

    Part of the wait condition step. Then choose process and timeout.
