This is a bit of a hack and you will not get a full recipe, but if you can find a standard scheduled task that runs every day, which "does" something in the database, you might be able to piggyback on the database insert, update or delete done by the task to create your own custom event that does what you want to do.
Just an idea.
Hi @Mathias Dahl
Thanks for the quick reply. That’s a shame, is IFS working on a solution for this? It seems like a pretty basic feature that other ERP/CRM’s have.
I think camunda workflows have a timer function already, but it’s not in IFS Cloud’s implementation.
What would you suggest I do for this?
Thanks,
Bryan
Also @Mathias Dahl can you please explain why this database task I created wouldn’t fully work?
Thanks,
Bryan

I'll try to get a comment on this from people who knows.

Care to share more details on what you tried?

Hi @Mathias Dahl , I didn’t try anything, I saw your response on how it wouldn’t fully work and didn’t create it because of that. I was asking why you said it wouldn’t fully work.
Okay. A misunderstanding then.
I suggest you give the idea in my first reply above a try (the "hack"). That idea involves writing custom events only, no workflow/BPA.
Good luck!
I ended up using a scheduled report to run daily, which triggers an event action, which calls my workflow. This allows me to schedule my workflows to run on whatever schedule I want.
I’m surprised no one came up with this solution, but at least it’s done now.
Thanks,
Bryan
Good to hear you solved it, thanks for reporting back!
