Can't you use a crm workflow wait condition to achieve the same thing

Since there is absolutely no interaction between the workflow process and the CRM user interface, what you would like to do really can't be easily accomplished using JavaScript. You will have to have some sort of "trigger" that gets set or a workflow assembly that gets called at the end of the workflow itself.

Hi,
I am calling a workflow from a Javascript code. After the execution of the workflow, i need to run a certain code which is based on the execution of the workflow. The problem is that the code depending on the workflow is running before the workflow ends execution. So how can i put a condition for the code to run after the workflow ends execution?
Can i have the reply by email if possible?
Thanks in advance

Hi Mitch,

I hope you will still get this mail as this post is already pretty old and the rest of the world is on 4.0.. I work for a client who still runs CRM 3.0 and they would like to use data from the account form as input for an appointment created automatically by workflow. I have used your code to create the activity automatically by workflow and created custom fields to the account entity that need to go in the appointment. is there any way you can help me get that data through workflow in the appointment?

Many thanks

Aad

Vladislav,

Using CRM's non-documented JavaScript methods is way unsupported – even though they work!

Thanks for the tip.

Why don't use built in JS method in 4.0?

Just:

launchOnDemandWorkflowForm(", '3', '{86D760B4-9C30-4CB4-89CC-90D5A7195AB4}');

where first param is never used, 2nd – ObjectTypeCode, 3rd – WF rule GUID…
