Event Expires Trigger ?

Hello,

Can we write a trigger which will execute when an event expires?

Thanks,
Mayank Agarwal

You will have to create the Trigger handlers to achieve the same.Go through the below links to learn more :-

Hello Vinit.

Is there any mean by which we can update one field of Event when Event Expires and then we can fire trigger.?
What about workflow to achieve this?

Thanks,
Mayank

I don't unsderstand what u meant by 'we can update one field of Event when Event Expires'.

Are you talking about Event Due date if it is due to fire a trigger or something else ??

Hello Vinit,

As per my knowledge, triggers are excuted when there is some event (insert, update, delete, undelete). So we can update one field of Event Object on Expiration of Event, then we will write a trigger which will solve my problem.

Is this possible, to update one Event Field through Workflow on Event Expiration and if possible then what is the Rule criteria for workflow to implement this?

Thanks,

Here,is how I will approach it .

I will check whether current time is equal to Event's EndDateTime or not.If it is,then I will fire the WF field update and update that WF field.

Hello Vinit,

I also tried  to use this approach but unable to fix this.
Could you please share the Rule Criteria for workflow for this, either in Formula or Criteria Form.


Thanks,

Can you tell me what was the criteria you had for this.
mayank_friend52mayank_friend52
Hello Vinit,

Rule Criteria for the workflow:

Event: Endless or equalTODAY

But i want to use Event's EndDateTime in Formula to be true rather than the above Rule Criteria.


Thanks,
Mayank
