Start

This Task is the start of all workflows and this is allowed only once in a workflow.task_start

• run time of this workflow (Should the workflow executed immediately or asynchronous (asynchronous creates a 1 second delay and execute the workflow with the next cronjob)
• start trigger You could use different options as trigger:
  • When a record is created
  • Every time a record is saved
  • Only manual execution
  • Execute every time a mail is stored for a record (Regardless if you send or the MailScanner connect)
  • Execute every time a comment is created
• parallel execution
  
  If you use a [delay] or [set values] task, it could result in recursive execution, which could result in problems with the server
  You should only activate parallel execution if you know you need multiple instances of one Workflow per record

• This values will be requested, if the workflow will be executed from the sidebar of a record (Otherwise these variables aren't available!)
• The input are only available within custom functions

This will request 3 variable on start, which will result in this form:

You could access these variables with the $env[“value”][“…”] variable. In this example use

$env["value"]["field_1"]
$env["value"]["field_2"] # "on" if checked
$env["value"]["field_3"]

• Start when a record is created
  • will be executed once every time a new Record is saved
• Start every time a record is saved
  • will be executed every time you save a record in the module
• Start only on manual execution
  • won't be executed automatically
    have to executed in sidebar or with the task “execute external Workflow”
• Start every time a mail is send to the record
  • This Trigger will be started if a new mail will be send to this record or an incoming mail will be related to an entry in the module
    You could use the following environment variables inside a custom function to do something based on this values:
    $env[“email”][“subject”] - contains subject
    $env[“email”][“content”] - contains mailtext
    $env[“email”][“from”] - contains sender
