[Vtigercrm-developers] Event Handler or Custom Workflow function?

[Joe Bordes]

The way I see it, it is a user thing. If you want/need your user to be 
able to easily deactivate or change the launch conditions it is a 
workflow, if that isn't the case, an event handler is better because you 
won't run into the case of some user deactivating it on you :-)

Another scenario is when you need to launch the code on more than one 
module, if you need that it is an event handler.
