Hi,
I know this question has been asked multiple times but I'm not able to implement any solution correctly.
I have a list containing users and their birthdays. I created a sharepoint workflow which first checks if value in the field "Birthdays" is equal to today's date and if true then it sends email to the respective user. I ticked all options for starting workflow (automatic, manually, new, changed). This workflow works when I add a new item(or modify) in the list.
Now, I want this workflow to work even when all users and their birthdays are already created in the list and there is no scope of triggering the workflow through creating new item or changing any item. Anyway birthday workflow is supposed to check the entire"Birthdays" column match the dates with today's date and if they match then it should send email. I tried to play with information policy settings with no success (I followed this - *not able to post the link*. The workflow just doesn't trigger.
I'm not sure what will be the impact of pause until on the performance of my website. I'll be glad to know any suggestions on how I can make it work?
