How to trigger workflow for existing records

[Manju Shree]

Hi All,

I have a requirement to trigger workflow once in a year (July 1st). The workflow needs to send an approval for all the existing records. I created a scheduled workflow that will run daily but will check the condition if Today's date is July 1st. 

If yes is returned then workflow will be executed but the problem is the approval is not triggered for all the records, only for newly created record the workflow is executing. 

Something is missing out here. Do let me know how to trigger this workflow for existing records.

Thanks in advance.

It is triggering the approval for the records yearly once. Hence I have created a workflow.

The Business also wants me to create a workflow for this requirement

Hi,

then why to use workflow when it won't be running on insert of record?
