send email every last day of month.

Hi,

 

I want to send an email to key contact in account on last day of every month using time dependent workflow.

 

Email should have some formula fields included which are on account..

 

Will workflow solve my purpose?Or should i use Scheduler class?

 

Any suggestions?

I am assuming you want this email to go out at the end of every month? If that is the case, I don't think you will be able to use time-dependent workflows, parimarily because in your scenario, the workflow evaluation criteria will be created, and every time it’s edited and SFDC does not allow Time-dependent actions if the workflow evaluation criteria is set to Every time the record is created and edited.

Looks like you would need to use an apex email scheduler class for this requirement.
