Hi,

 

If your workflow updates any field on your object; then a trigger on that object (if present for update) will fire.

Hi,

I created One pick list field in Education Object called Status.
Im using the following condition in my workflow rule as following

Evaluation Criteria :When a record is created, or when a record is edited and did not previously meet the rule criteria
Rule Criteria : Education: Phase 3 Subscription End Date equalsTODAY.
Time-Dependent Workflow Actions : 1 Hour After Rule Trigger Date
Field Update = Status Update.

i Create the Education records then auto matically Educatin Tracker record Created phase3 also populated. current Phase 3 Subsciption end date i choose 7/4/12 .

once 7/4/12 <= Today happend we need to invoke the trigger remove the value in EducationTracker object

I don't think it will work that way, your objects are just stored as data. I think you would need to run a schedulled class/batch operation to verify your objects,and then update them if they no longer match certain creteria.

 

(I could be wrong though)
