initiating workflow

[Former Community Member]

Hi,

I'm just getting started with workflow designer and am trying some very simple stuff .

I'm trying to initiate a workflow without having a form or a email initiate it form me. I've deployed the workflow and intuitively expected it to start. The workflow is very simple.

Wait(2 secs) ---> Script( sysout("hello world"); ) ----> wait ( 3 secs )
|---------------------------------------------|
(infinite loop)

I've deployed the workflow but i'm not seeing any sysouts . All i can see
is

=======================================================

HERE

When you deploy a workflow it doesn't just start running, you need to initiate an instance of the workflow somehow. Whether by a form in Form Manager, via email, via webservice, etc..

Hi,

Can email receiver QPac initiate a workflow too?

I try to use it as wf initiater, but no WF instance is started...



Thanks

Hi

Yes, you can use EmailReceiver, plus the Chain QPAC to actually initiate the process once the email arrives.



You can find a simple sample at: http://www.avoka.com/samples/_EmailReceiver/

Just to add to Howard's comment, this assumes that the workflow containing the EmailReceiver QPAC has already been initiated.
