Sharepoint designer workflow, datetime question

Asked By: Jim Dominguez Date: Apr 08, 2010 Category: MOSS Views: 437

I think this can be done in SPD(for moss 2007) but I always do these in
visual studio.

I need to look at an expire date that is in a document library, and then send
out a reminder email like so:
An email when the item is 2 years from expiring,
another when the items is 1 year from expiring,
ETC.

I'm not sure what would trigger the emails, but I look forward to hearing the
answer!

I think the best answer to this would be to write a timer job that runs on a
daily basis. Have the job look at each item in the library and send a mail if
the date is within certain parameters. Although you could do this with a
workflow it would be sitting there for years on end, with one instance for each
document. A timer job would just run each day and then stop.

I would suggest 'Pause until date' but that thing would be running for
years...State Machine WF is the answer but not with SPD.
