I want to schedule a single workflow that kicks off every night. I have no problem doing this with Nintex workflows, however if seems that there are no options do do so with SharePoint Designer workflows. I am trying to do this on Office 365.
The reason I do this is that I have a workflow iterates through a list and determines which people need to receive reminders. I particularly like this technique, instead of having a large set of workflows that pause for many days, weeks, or years. The reason I prefer this technique is that if an email has a typo or text needs to be changed, I can modify the text in the email with out canceling a large number of workflows and restarting them.
Well as we are not able to create timer job in O365.
There may be a workaround like.
Create a workflow that will send reminders with certain parameters required and Create a sample list with sample item and run workflow on that item with Pause until date and time (Today+1) and after that will trigger list workflow on items and in Transition section make it to go to same stage.Â
Out of the box I am really not sure.. I am sure you can create a Timer Job to do it though!Â
