Hello All,
I have workflow requirements wherein a reminder mail has to be sent to the assigned people certain days before the due date for which I have to pause the workflow for certain no. of days which could be pretty long like 2 weeks or even a month.
Can anyone please tell me if a SharePoint workflow would successfully pause for such a long duration and resume? Any gotchas?
Hi, check out our free tool HarePoint Workflow Scheduler that allows automatic execution of SharePoint workflows by schedule: http://www.harepoint.com/Products/HarePointWorkflowScheduler/Default.aspx
HarePoint Workflow Scheduler features:
- Starting site and list workflows manually or automatically by schedule.
- Starting list workflow for all documents or list items or for those selected manually or by CAML query.
- List views support. It is extremely topical for such lists as Tasks where you may select, for example, “Due Today” view so that the workflow would process only tasks for today, rather than all ones in the list.
- Setting workflow launch parameters, including parameters described in the InfoPath form linked to the process.
- Adjusting flexibly the autorun schedule: by days of the week, by dates in a month, daily at a specified time, etc.
- Receiving alerts, daily or weekly summaries by email or via SMS with workflows results.
- Specifying accounts under which the workflow can be launched.
