Start multiple workflow instances by going through list entries | Community

Hello,

I have a workflow which creates, updates list items, and goes through approval process. Once every week I need to schedule another workflow which checks the list items. For every entry to the list, if "Approved" column is 'Yes' & 'Expiration Date' is less than or equal to 30 days from today, there is a need to trigger the previously mentioned 'another' workflow. For example, If there are 50 such entries to the list, then I need 50 workflow instances.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,

Kaushik

Hi there @KaushikBukka

If you are using sharepoint you can also do the following

On the Create K2 Application page, select the check box next to the Workflow element

A section will appear where you need to provide some settings for the workflow

Specify how the workflow gets started

Under "when the following events occur" check the box for "An item was added"

I think this should help you with the workflow instances. You can have a look at the link below for reference
