Hello Community,
Please find my requirement below:
All the legal requests that were last updated 6 days ago and state is "awaiting for user" should be automatically resolved by the system and then system should trigger notification to the requestor that request is resolved.
My approach:
So far I created a "After update" BR and wrote script to update status and trigger email from event.
But it's not working. As record would not be updated hence I guess this BR would not work here.
Could you suggest a better approach please? What's easier to handle this ?
Scheduled script or job ? Or if I can update existing BR ?
thanks in advance,
Hritik.

Hi there,
A business rule won't work, since this is 6 days after update. What you could do, a Scheduled Flow with zero code. Once a day, or hourly, just depending on your requirement.

Hi Hritik,
You can do it in two way-
- Via Scheduled job running whenever you need with the logic you need to apply to close the requests
- Via Schedule flow -> It's pretty much the same thing but prettier.
Something like the prints I have attached. I have used the incident table but the logic must be more or less the same.
Let me know if you need more help 🙂
Best regards,
