I have a problem with my workflow on SharePoint2013.
The purpose of this workflow is to send an email (with collect data from user) where an item is modified.
I've created a workflow in SharePoint Designer 2010 but it doesn't start automatically when an item is modified.
In parameter, I've ticked 'start automatically when an item is modified'.
The workflow start when i run manually.
Someone can help me?
Thank you !

I created in SharePoint a list. with column Assigned To. What I want is that an email is sent to the Assignee, if the Assignee is added to this column. But the problem is that Workflow is started only automatically if any changes are made in an element or when an element is created.
So my question is, is there a possibility to trigger an email by content changes in a specified column without sending 2 emails.
I think, If you are using SharePoint 2010 or 2013 workflow then you can set workflow to triger only for create and edit of item of list. But If you use Microsoft flow, you can trigger flow base on column change. But if you want to implement into 2010 and 2013 workflow then below step will work.
1) create one extra field and make it read only and hidden for every one.
2) trigger the workflow when item change into list.
3) if Assigned field is not null and not equal to extra field then send email and make extra field value same as Assigned field value.
I am looking for a way in SharePoint Designer to trigger a workflow only if a field is blank. Thoughts?
You shoud start workflow every time list item is created or modified and then check value of the field in the workflow. If it is blank - perform some action, otherwise just end workflow
I created a Workflow for a list in SharePoint 2010. The workflow has multiple steps. I have a field (person or group) that needs to be required in step 6 (the person in step 6 should select the person in the field, but sometimes forgets to do so). In step 9 the person selected will get an email and need to fill out a portion of the infopath form. The person responsible for steps 1-5 do not know who to enter in that field so i can't make it a mandatory field in the beginning. When the person in step 6 forgets to select someone, step 9 gets held up because no one gets the email.
If SharePoint Designer is your only option then you should split the workflow into two different workflows. Keep steps 1-5 in the first workflow and put the remaining steps in a new workflow. In the new workflow, create an initiation form to collect the information you need. Initiation forms in SharePoint Designer support "Person or Group" types and you can make the field required.
Other possible solutions would be outside of SharePoint Designer, including a workflow created in Visual Studio or a JavaScript solution.
I have a list named reminder_list which has a DateTime field called reminder date.
I want to create a SharePoint designer workflow on that list which will run everyday and check if the reminder date field is equal to current date or not,if it is equal then it will send an email.
Is this possible to do? Anyone any ideas?
You can't do it using SharePoint Workflows. You should use Custom Timer Jobs instead, see: http://www.andrewconnell.com/Creating-Custom-SharePoint-Timer-Jobs

I have a very simple workflow which creates a log, sends an email to a user to preform a task when the item is created then sends a different email to an external address at the same time. A field is updated using the set field in current item and another log is created.
When I enter the first item in the list the work flow starts but when the second item is created the workflow fails with the following response "The workflow could not update the item, possibly because one or more columns for the item require a different type of information"
I am using Sharepoint 2010 Foundation and Sharepoint Designer 2010. I have searched everywhere and even tried inserting 1 minute pause after the first log but it doesn't help.
