Hello!
 

Is it possible to run a workflow automatically when a condition is met, without having to click "Submit" in a Nintex form?

For example, I have a rule where, when an employee completes two hires, a label becomes visible that says "You won a bonus and your level has increased by one." How can I trigger a workflow to run automatically at this point and create a record in SharePoint with the information?

The challenge I'm facing is that I can't find an option to trigger the workflow when the condition is true without needing to submit the form first.

thanks

Hi @Yhaizley RV,

The ideas our customers come up with for use cases for Nintex products always amaze me.
In this case, a workflow will not run until a form is submitted.
The only solution I can think of here would be to create a form plugin that does a web request to call a component workflow. This would require some development work.
