Solved: Workflow with report by last entry - Page 2

Hey everyone,

I need to fire a workflow event which will email a formatted pdf whenever a row is added

What Im wondering is, what type of slice would I used to make sure I only have that row that fired this workflow? The reason Im asking is what if 2 entries are added within like 5 seconds of each other, I cant have the 1 workflow start using info form the second workflow,

What Is standard procedure for this? Im assuming this is a fairly common thing being done.

My solution is to literally include a column in tables that I know will have workflows called: Workflow_Trigger; a simple text field that’s hidden.

Setup is as follows:

I set my workflow to watch this column for a trigger
I create an action to insert my trigger word into the workflow_trigger column
I create an action to clear the workflow_trigger column

Then, I use the form event (or an action event) with a grouped action to run these two back to back; when the trigger value is entered, the workflow fires, then the next edit is to clear the workflow trigger - and things move on to any additional syncs.
