We are running IFS cloud. I want to run an IFS Workflow when a ShopOrder Status changes to RELEASED. I spent way too much time trying to set this up and getting lots of unintuitive errors messages from the workflow designer and IFS when trying to test, deploy, etc. Anybody ever done this and have some pointers?

 

Thanks,

-Chris

@kvbe I did get a SHOP_ORDER_RELEASED event working to trigger an external REST endpoint and then did the work in code in the endpoint handler external from IFS.

Can you share some of the issues you faced? 

 

You could use an event action on the ShopOrd entity to trigger with a condition to only trigger on state change to “Released” 

eg: 

event action config sample

Hello, I want to create new workflow, but in main page i cannot find workflow designer, I must add some permissions after which i will see “Workflow Designer”?
