Hi,

 

I am trying to figure out how to send out a notification anytime a field in a responsive form is modified. I tested this by  using a  the “SharePoint - Update list item” but it continuously runs and multiple notifications continue to push out… I don’t see within the conditions to select “modified date” anywhere. Is there another way to attack this?

Hi ​@jpacheco,

Use the workflow settings to have the workflow trigger on item modification.
If you only want the workflow to run when the item is modified, but only on a certain condition, this can also be set. There is a “Modified” condition if you want that condition to be a date.

@SimonMuntz ,

Hi! So I am working within NAC and with a Sharepoint document library where users need to request approvals for final drafts.

Not sure how to fire off the workflow...I tried modifying a field in details but the problem too is with checking in/out the document. You can’t edit the fields if the doc isn’t checked out or in, it seems like if it doesn’t sync or something.

So I don’t see what you see in your screen shot… I am assuming that is an older workflow?

This is what I see…

Hi ​@jpacheco,

Sorry for the confusion. My screenshot is from Nintex for SharePoint, as this is the forum section where this post was originally posted, until I moved it to the correct section. I believe the primary issue here is that workflows do not trigger on document updates.

I would approach this in one of two ways.
 

  1. Start the workflow when a new item is created and have the approval process built into the workflow. When the final draft is ready for review, the user approves their task, allowing the workflow to proceed.
  2. If you want the workflow to run when the final draft is ready for review, have a checkbox or something similar in SharePoint that the user checks. This intern triggers the workflow based on a condition of the checkbox.
