Triggering a microflow in seconds-backend

0

Hello Everyone, I have one requirement where we need to trigger a microflow at the backend for like every 5- 10 seconds of interval, even before the end user logs in. Though we have scheduled events but it got restricted with minimum of 1 minute of time. So any idea how to trigger the flow within seconds period of time? Since our requirement needs to trigger at the backend the microflow timer also wouldnt work in this case! TIA Regards, Mukesh V

Hello Mukesh,

This is not possible in Scheduler approach, if want to run a scheduled event in every 5 seconds, you need to create a temporary workaround.

1.Create one scheduler which runs on every 1 min.

2.call Microflow from scheduler and add time logic there.

3.call another sub-MF which will trigger in every 5 second as given like below.

try this if it will work.

Hi Mukesh,

You can put the Microflow timer widget in the layout of your application,

with the help of this widget you can trigger any microflow within any interval of time, and this way you can achieve your functionality,

Hey Mukesh,

This is one of many way to do it, you can add button somewhere on admin page and run it like this (probably if you have some commit you inside microflow start transaction and end transaction will be needed). But why you need it, can you give more details?
