Hello.
How can I automatically open a file from doc lib using a workflow?
In my case, user will create a request form (list item), it will initiate a workflow which will create a new excel file in document library and present it to user. From UX, I want to open the excel automatically after he finished to feel the request form. I don't want to send him a link..
Ideas?
Thanks
Hi, Danish
Thanks for the reply
but I'm actually looking for non-code solution, maybe some web service or stuff like that..
One possible way you can open a document would be to send the user to Office Web Apps. Forms can have redirect urls, but workflows cannot as they are not running in the browser.I think you will have timing issues with a workflow needed to first create the document and then tell the browser to download or view it.
You can use webservice using the lists.asmx to fetch a document but you have to put it into a filestream and there isn't anywhere to store that in a Nintex action or variable.
