Start workflow with create list item action

Hello Jesse,

Is it a List workflow? If so you can make the workflow start option as every new item start.

Your workflow is creating new items and on every new item the workflow will trigger. But looks like it is not something your requirement. Can you explain us in detail.

Yeah if the requirement is with in the same list, it will become an infinite, it can be controlled if Safe looping is enabled. But this is an abrupt end of our workflow after 5 to 6 repetitions!

Hi,

Another option would be to have the settings as per the screenshot below:

Then in your workflow that creates the new item you can use a web service action to call the workflow.asmx StartWorkflowOnListItem method, see below. This way you have total control over when the workflow runs.

Bit more detail:

- I have nintex workflow for office 365

- the workflow is set to start when new items are created however this does not include items created by the system account as Phillip said. (I have tested this)

Hello Jesse,

How do you create Start Workflow action for new create item? When I use start workflow it is start Workflow for current item.

Thanks.
