Hi Carlos.I'm doing some similar stuff and obviously with no documentation for the work flow package it's pretty hard. I assume you have Builder and are reasonably comfortable with it.Where you want to start looking is in the WFMAIN OSpace. Specifically WFMAIN:WF Root:CallbackEventScriptsUnder there you will find three objects:GeneralCallbackScriptsPerformerCallbackScriptsSubmapCallbackScriptsOf these I am only familiar with the PerformerCallbackScripts which are intended to allow you to dynamically route workflows. In my case I am trying to route a workflow based on data entered in an attached Adobe form.I assume that you will want to use a GeneralCallbackScript. These return true/false so I guess they may have some role in deciding whether a workflow step is successfully executed.Using the instructions I got from OpenText UK support here are some steps that might help you get started.1) Create yourself a new OSpace.2) Orphan the GeneralCallbackScript object into your OSpace.3) Set fEnabled=TRUE4) Run the __Init script5) Read 0Documentation & Add a script body as described6) Customise ;-)I hope this may be of some help in getting you started.Best of luck.Matt.

Thank you very much. I'm trying to add something like a notification and some kind of step scalation. So if someone is delayed in a task, automatically sends a message (e-mail) to a person previosuly configured in that step. Do you have any ideas??Another question, is there a way to send an e-mail within OSCript??

Hi Carlos.Re: step escalation. The workflow trigger event scripts seem to be associated with a step starting so I i'm not sure they are appropriate in this case.However the change agents are able to detect tasks being late so maybe there is a way based on that.On your second point, take a look at LLAgent:LLAgent Root:Transports:SMTP:Execute(). It's not pretty but is does work.Best regards/matt.
