[Vtigercrm-developers] Workflow Task Execute After Delay

[Stefan Warnat]

Is it a big mistake to refer my Workflow Designer in this mailinglist,
because of the commercial background? I think it match the question.

I have develop this designer because of the request, there should be
different checks after a delay. Of course, It is possible to integrate all
of this features inside custom functions, but this makes the integration of
very special tasks time expensive and absolutely static.

Because of my opinion to transfer recurring tasks inside code, i create
this extension.
Possible this is something which could make your work better. I will give
members of this mailinglist special conditions.

If it isn't welcome to advert commercial products, please let me know. ;)
