on-expire event
- Robert Alexander Marshall
Overview
Use the on-expire event in a workflow trigger to listen for a state expired event and execute one or more trigger actions.
By including a trigger condition, the expiration event in a workflow trigger can be constrained to listen for the state expiration event in a named state in the workflow, the workflow final state, or the initial state.
Example “on-expire" event

]The on-expire event only listens for a workflow expiry event.
Each event can include
one or more actions
The trigger event must include at least one trigger action.
There are two actions in the above example
the
"change-state"action to transition the workflow to the Review state and"set-message"notification action
If a trigger action is present, it can include one or more conditions. If no conditions are added, the trigger listens for an expiration event for any state.
