Add ability to automatically schedule Transitions after state change

Hello all,

I am working on a project and i was wondering if there is a way to transition to workflow states automatically. For instance, I want to create workflow states: 1.Created 2.Idle 3.Abandoned 4.Edited 5.Published . So here is what i want the states to do:

If new content is created, it is assigned the state "created".

If the content is not edited for a particular period, say 1 week, it is automatically assigned the state "Idle"

If content is edited before the expiration of the admin selected "idle" period, then it can be moved to the state "Edited". etc.

Here is the use case:

  • Manager creates a content and assigns this node to one of the workers using the user reference cck field.
  • If worker is too lazy and didnt work on the node after 1week, then the workflow state is automatically set to "idle" and an admin pre-configured email reminder is automatically generated and sent to worker (user referenced) and a copy also sent to manager (original author).
  • After 2 weeks of inactivity, that is, the worker still did not do anything on the node, the workflow state is set automatically to "abandoned" and another admin pre-configured "disciplinary query" email is generated and sent to worker, and a copy also sent to manager for record purposes.
