The Vancouver release is no longer supported. As such, the product documentation and release notes are provided for informational purposes only, and will not be updated.
The Wait for condition activity causes the workflow to wait at this activity until the current record matches the specified condition.
The workflow evaluates the Wait for condition activity each time the current record is updated. Use this activity to pause a workflow indefinitely until a particular criteria is met by a record update. To pause a workflow for a timed duration see Timer workflow activities.
For workflow to consider the condition met, all conditions specified – whether in the
builder or in a script – must be true.
Note: A Wait for condition
activity should only be used to wait for an external event such as a record
update, and not one from a workflow setting a value. If you have a workflow setting a
value and want to wait for that same field to be seen as 'changed,' try inserting a
one-second timer.
Results
The workflow designer can assign a result value using activity.result from
within a script field of the activity. The activity transitions when the result value is
true.
Input variables
The following variables determine the behavior of the activity.
Note: Condition activities run as the user whose actions
match the conditions the workflow was waiting for and advances the workflow.
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Condition | The workflow is paused at this activity until this condition matches the current record. |
| Condition script | If specified, the workflow is paused at this activity until this script sets the answer variable to true. |
States
The activity state tells the workflow engine what to do with the activity.
