Yetiforcecrm: [Question] - System condition type workflow

[liviubbo]

Hello all,

i have seen that there is a System condition in Workflows.
I would like more details about it :

• How often is it running?
• What is triggering it?

I have seen some answers around here, but nothing solid, like :

• This type of condition starts every .... based on your cron settings (or else) ....

Some more detalied explanations would be good because, like in #10071 said, System name is very vague.

Thank you !

Hi liviubbo,
you are right: System term is non-explicative.
System means that the workflow is called by the module with which the workflow is associated.

If you select System as "Specify when to execute this workflow" value, the workflow is not called via CRON: it's called by module itself, if and only if, into module core code, a specific handler is implemented.

It's not easy to explain and I hope I was clear :)

I just proposed to YF-team a new label for "System": "On the occurrence of an event defined in the module itself", but there may be a better label.

So, basically, if i didnt made any changes to a module, it will not work, right ?
If i dindt implemented a specific handler, right ?

Yes Liviu, you 're right.
That option is to "open a door" for customizing workflow execution: you need to develop it.

Thank you for the quick answer!
Have a great day!
