Start workflow when file is checked in

Question

I have a form created in InfoPath, that I would like to automatically start the workflow when the file is checked in. I have Sharepoint Designer, but I don't see the field for 'Checked in'.

There is a field under 'Field from source' that says 'Checked out to'. And do I start the workflow when the file is created? Can the workflow be triggered if a file is submitted?

Thanks!

Answer 1

Check In Item

This action is initially displayed in a workflow step as Check in item in this list with comment: comment. Checks in an item that is checked out.

Following is an example of what the action might look like in a workflow step,

Check in item in Expense Reports with comment: Expense report approved

Note You can only check in items from a document library.

using IF Condition trigger workflow Checkin Item.
