Hi,
I have a simple question regarding SharePoint 2013 custom workflow(sequential) . Is it a must to create a task and use while activity and then complete task . what if i want to just send an email as item is added and it should wait for some days until all of the approvers approve or take the actions.cant we just use a code activity to make the workflow to wait for certain amount of times instead of using task and while activity.
Because the workflow that i am creating it should send an email after item is added . Then it should wait for 5 days until 4 members comment in my custom list form . for that i have used 'code activity' to send an email . and the 'code activity' again to wait for 5 days and i am using while loop to wait for 5 days. But unfortunately it breaks within an hour or maybe more than that .
So could u guys please tell me is it really necessary to follow the conventional sharepoint workflow structure , because in my case i dont really need to create the tasks . I am using my own custom list form to get the comments of the user , on the basis of that the next email will go . So why should i use the create task activity and while activity.
