Hi all, wondering if this group can save my šŸ‘ : I have a custom record (Reward Certificate) that is created via Workflow upon creation of an invoice. I have also created an Advanced PDF template for said custom record. I would like to send an email with the PDF attached to a recipient (email address stored in a custom record field) upon creation of the custom record and am struggling to do so. HELP! šŸ™‚

Sounds like a job for a saved search email alert if it can't be done in the workflow

I’m testing the same thing - creating a case record when a credit memo is created and having that case emailed šŸ¤”

Your workflow can't trigger if it's created from another workflow
You'd need a script involved.
Much for the same reason a user event script can't trigger another user event script
t
you could schedule a workflow to run every 30 minutes to get round that - it's dirty, Kev's solution is cleaner, but would work. Or manually trigger the subsequent workflow via a mass update
r
I think there is a native action where you can trigger or initiate a workflow, forgot what its called though
k
Yes - but it won't trigger external to the record workflows - which in this case is what's needing to occur.
