Calling Custom Workflow on Page Activation

This would need a custom implementation. I would look at using workflows as part of this solution.

Write code that iterates through pages using JCR API or QueryBuilder API. Then when you find a page that meets your criteria, invoke a workflow (that activates the page) using an API.

You can invoke workflows programmatically. See: http://scottsdigitalcommunity.blogspot.ca/2013/09/creating-workflows-for-adobe-experience. html

You may need to write a custom workflow step as well to perform time operations (if you want to wait 30 mins for example)\. However, AEM is very flexible in letting you write custom workflow steps. TO learn how to write a custom workflow step that implements,

Hi,

What you can do write up a replication preprocessor. Here is the sample implementation,

You can call your workflow inside preprocess step.

Thanks

Can you clarify your requirement a bit? Does it need to run on author or on publish? When you want to run it on author, the easiest way is probably to run all activation through the "Request for activation" workflow and add your custom step at the appropriate place.
