Series of tasks with a workflow

$

Hi all,

I'm new to the Microsoft CRM's world.

I'm trying to create a workflow that, when a new campaign is created, create ten differents tasks. Then it has to send an email to the owner of the first task and wait until the task is completed. Then it has to send an email to the owner of the second task and wait until the completation and so on...

The problem is that when i add the 4th wait condition I can't add more steps. I've read that this is a limitation of the CRM, it's possible to bypass this limitation?

 

In alternative I've tried to use child workflows, but i'm not able to recall the task created by the parent workflow... Is it possible?

 

To understand better i'll show an example:

 

New campaign created-> workflow create tasks A, B, C, D, E

Send an email to the owner of the task A

Wait antil task A activity status equals Completed

then

Send an email to the owner of the task B

Wait antil task B activity status equals Completed

then

Send an email to the owner of the task C

Wait antil task C activity status equals Completed

then

Send an email to the owner of the task D

Wait antil task D activity status equals Completed

then------------------------------------------------------------------------------->at this point I cannot add more steps

Send an email to the owner of the task E

...

 

If i use child workflow (let's call workflow 1 the parent and workflow 2 the child)

New campaign created-> workflow 1 create tasks A, B, C, D, E

start child workflow

is it possible to create a workflow 2 like this?:

wait until task A (created by workflow 1) activity status equals completed

then

send an email to the owner of the task A

 

i'm not sure that i've explain in a clear method the issue... in case of problem i'll try to explain better :)

 

Thanks in advancefor the help

 

Giovanni
