[Vtigercrm-developers] Trigger Workflow via Ajax?

[Alan Lord (News)]

I've an odd situation where I'm saving data to an completely unrelated 
table that isn't an entity record but the information I'm saving in it 
is required by an entity record during a workflow calculation function.

This workflow function is normally triggered by an "Every time the 
record is {saved or modified}" trigger.

I would like to trigger this workflow after I've made an Ajax call to an 
unrelated save of data that has nothing to do with the entity. I don't 
really want to call the module's normal Save event because that will 
cause all sorts of UI changes... I need a kind of "phantom save event" 
or a handle directly to the workflow function.

Or alternatively could I fire an event handler as another way of 
achieving my objective?

Or do I need to write a completely custom action to replicate the Workflow?

Any ideas or thoughts?


Cheers

Al
