SharePoint Online, Stop Workflow when Item Changed

Hello,
I have a workflow that sends an email to certain individuals upon creation and then sends a follow up reminder in 30 days if a specific field has not been changed.  I want to edit that workflow to only send the reminder if the list item has not been
changed since creation (ie: modified date is after created date).  Then create a second workflow that starts once the item is changed to send a different reminder email if the list item has been updated but not completed.
The problem I am having is that the workflow that sends the initial email is technically "changing" the list item and therefore triggering the second workflow which I don't want to happen.  I tried to use the "If any value equals value"
condition on the "created" (date/time) and "modified" (date/time) fields but sending the initial email changes the modified field so they're never equal.
If there were a way to define a timestamp as [created date/time + X] I could set X to be 1 miute and then use the greater than or less than functions of the "If any value equals value" condition to make this work.  Doesn't seem possible
to do.
Does anybody have any ideas of how to get around this?
I'm using SharePoint Online with O365 if that makes a difference.
Thanks,
Jared

add a column called 'start next workflow' which should be a Boolean with a default value of NO
in your first workflow, only at the point it should end, make the last action to change this new field to YES
in your second workflow, add a condition so that it only runs if this field is set to YES

    Hello,
    We have already implemented this in our old  project.Please find below the solution.
    No config change is required.
    1.Go to tcode SWETYPV
    2. Double click on your linkage.
    3. You will see there check function module.
    4. MAke a custom custom function module of yours and it will have CDPOS and CDHDR as its component.
    5. When so pr is changed or created this function module will be triggered there you can identify whether pr is changed or not using cdpos and cdhdr.
    6. If it is change raise two events one for completeion of old worklfows which are in process second for creation of new workflow instance.
    7. Create a wait step in your workflow which will wait for the completion event to be raised.
    Hope it helps.

  • SP2013 Online - Approval Workflow "Request for Change" customization

    Hi,
    I am need for modifying the flow of request for change option in Approval workflow. 
    Whenever a user requests for change, I need to change the current task status as "Change Request" instead of completing the current task and creating a new task. Also, send an email notificaton to the requestor to make the changes. 
    Requestor will then make the changes and send a seperate email to the approver to review and approve the changes. After that reviewer will be appoving the workflow task.
    I am need of this process flow as my requestor group will not have access to workflow task to re-initiate the workflow after changes. 
    Please advice.
    soundar

    Hi,
    According to your description, my understanding is that you want to change the current task status as "Change Request" instead of completing the current task and creating a new task whenever a user requests for change in your SharePoint Online.
    For your issue, you can Copy & Modify the Globally Reusable Publishing Approval Workflow using SharePoint Designer and create a new Task Outcome for "Change Request".
    For more information, you can refer to the blog:

    Hello,
    To calculate anything you will have to write code. But for periodical execution you can use workflows -

  • Out of the box sharepoint online 2013 workflow

    Hi All,
    I have a workflow that sends a email to a user after creating a new document.
    Now a want to attach a document to this email but this is not possible with the out of the box SharePoint 2013 solution. I use the SP 2010 workflow because I need to send a email to an external user.
    Is there a solution that I can use to attach a document to a email in a workflow?

    Not possible out of the box. Just curious why would you want to email someone files over the email? I think the logical way is to simply send the item link. This will show user the item details and attachments.
    Anyways, If that's the way you want to do it then check the following codeplex solution out.
    http://spdactivities.codeplex.com/
    I would still recommend you to send the current Item URL in the email instead of sending document as an attachment.

  • Why do my videos stop playing when I change them from "Home Videos" to "Music Videos"?

    I have a bunch of music videos that I loaded onto my iPad Mini but it loads them as "Home Videos".
    I went into the 'get info' and changed them to "Music Videos" and resynced the device.
    Now when I go to play a video it acts like it's going to play then just stops.
    The video worked just fine as a "Home Video" but not as a "Music Video", even if I change it back to "Home Video".
    Anybody know what the deal with this is?

    Hi(Bonjour)!
    Welcome to the forum.
    Be sure that your sequence's settings (see easy setup command in Final Cut Express HD menu) match the format for your video material (like DV NTSC or PAL or HDV) before capture anything. Pay attention to shoot with a 16 bit audio mode, not 12 bit, and use a 48kHz setting for audio in easy setup dialog.
    FCE HD can only edit natively standard DV or HDV media captured on tape based camcorder.

  • Guide layer stops working when I change a movieClip

    Hey all,
    So I have a few things moving along a common guide layer.
    There are 7 objects, and depending on what is happening on screen,
    i want to have some of the objects appear and disappear. I have all
    of the objects _alpha set to 0, but when something triggers it, I
    change a few of them to _alpha=100. The problem is that, at that
    point, they stop moving along the guide. I know they move because
    they will be halfway across the screen, but then stop moving
    immediately after I call the change in _alpha. Any ideas? Can you
    not change the properties of a movieClip while it is moving on the
    guide? Thanks...

    Be sure to change the symbol to a button in both the library and in the properties panel.  If you only change it in the properties panel, the tmeline will not change.

  • TS1589 my airport stopped working when i changed its location within the same network (wired)

    Please help....I replaced my airport express with an apple tv and moved the airport to a different location within the same wired network and the light continues to flash amber. I know the ethernet connection is good and I have tried restarting the modem/router/airport with no change in status and when I look in the airport utility software, it reports that it cant see it. When I move back to its original location, the light goes green.  What happened and how can i correct this issue? Thanks very much for any assistance.

    the weird thing is that all Ive done is move its pysical location....my house has ethernet ports in every room all running through a common upstream router which in turn is connected to a dsl modem. At this point Ive hard reset the AX back to factory settings....now the AX utility sees the AX but shows me that it has a total of 3 problems. 1) Internet connection...2) no DNS servers...3) default settings. When I highlight "default settings" the info reads "this AX base station has default settings. You should configure it to connect to the internet, secure the wireless network, and provide a password. I assume that if I correct this, the other 2 troubles should take care of themselves.  At the bottom of the page there are buttons that say...help, revert, update and a drop down menu that says default settings, recovered settings, create profile, edit profiles. not sure where to go from here. thaks for taking the time to help me.

  • Iphone4 Email Stopped working when I changed my password

    Hey all, I spent days trying to figure this out. I am sure this is in the manual somewhere but thought I would save you time if you have the same issue.
    I change my MSN email password often to protect myself. After getting my new iphone 4 (Verizon), I changed my password on my email accounts. As soon as I changed the password, I went into the iphone settings and changed the setting there also. Then I could get emails but not send emails. After many searches, and playing with the iphone, I figured out why the email was not sending messages.
    In the iphone4, you have change the new password for emails like msn in BOTH incoming and OUTGOING servers. You have to change the password twice for each email address.
    Go to settings on the iphone, mail, contacts, calenders....select the email account that you changed the password for and then under INCOMING Mail Server, change the password to the new one. Then go down to OUTGOING Mail server, select, then it goes to Primary Server screen, so select the one at the top. Then change the password under OUTGOING server.
    I hope this helps!!

  • Can I use Visual Studio to develop Sharepoint Online workflows on existing site lists?

    I've been using Sharepoint Designer to develop workflows in Sharepoint 2013 on Office 365, but hitting limitations. I would like, for example, to be able to trigger a workflow when a list item is deleted.
    Perhaps naively I thought Visual Studio should be able to help. I've read of useful things like Remote Event Receivers - sounds exactly what I need. I've used VS before for Windows desktop applications in VB, so downloaded a trial version of VS 2013.
    Now I'm having doubts. It looks like I can create a Sharepoint App on a development site and create lists and workflows within it, but I can't access my existing lists to do anything more sophisticated than I already can in SPD. Is that right?
    I was expecting to be able to enter my Sharepoint site URL into Visual Studio somewhere, just like in SPD, and do wonderful things with my lists - but unless I'm missing something, that's not possible.
    Have I just got it completely wrong??!
