Hi,

Dataverse workflow doesn't trigger on custom date field when set to trigger for a certain date on a custom table.

Hi@Teresa24486,

Based on the issue that you mentioned, do you want to run the workflow based on a certain date for an entity?

Could you please share a bit more about the scenario?

Workflow is trigger on top of particular event of Entity.So you can not automate based on time and run the work flow.

Now it depends on your requirement, what kind of operation you will do?

If it's really bulk data operation then I would suggest go for using console application and scheduled solution in windows task scheduler. By using this you can get advantages of your custom file based log or event viewer log.

Hope it could help.

Best Regards,

Qi

Hi @Teresa24486 ,

Kindly open the respective workflow and check process session look out for any issue.

if there are any issue in workflow steps, deactivate the workflow, update the step and activate.

hi @v-qiaqi-msft , @Prakash4691 

Process session Status Reason shows Canceled or Waiting. Doesnt Trigger. Conditions were pretty straightforward:

Wait until Process-Execution Time equals 3 days before [custom field] --> Send Email -->Stop workflow with status of Succeeded.

Hi @Teresa24486 ,

Can you please post snapshot of your workflow?

So the scribbled is the custom date column.

Hi @Teresa24486 ,

Can you please open the process session, since you have used wait until look out for postpone until value. If it is not as per the condition, Kindly change wait until condition.

Please refer below screenshot.

If not it will keep stay on waiting state until the postpone until date.

while creating record, is that custom date will set to 7 days after process execution?

Because process execution time is the workflow trigger time on creation of record.

[Teresa24486]

oh is it? thought process execution time is the time the workflow will trigger 7 days before the custom date set on the column.

In that case what wait condition should i use?
