I have the an issue. I have two workflows created in SPD.
(Workflow 1) Is set to fire whenever a new item is created or changed, performs approval function
(Workflow 2) Is set to fire whenever a new item is created or changed, creates a duplicate (uses create list item activity) in the same list.
When workflow 2 fires when the condition is met it creates an item but the workflow 1 nor workflow 2 never fires on the newly created item. But if the item is created manually workflow triggers fine.
Is there a way to trigger the workflow even when the item is created by SPD activity.
Note : Both are SP 2013 workflows so am not able to use even Start a list workflow activity.
You can’t trigger a workflow when an item is created or changed by another workflow.Try putting a 1 minute pause in the workflow that is failing so the other workflow has time to do it’s thing. Without more specific details, that’s the best I can think of.
