How to emulate the time based workflow via Apex?

Is there any way to do this? The only reason I want to do this because I cannot set CC's on an workflow email alert.

 

TIA!

Hi,

 

In the Email Alert you can set 5 additional Email Addresses, is it not suitable of not fit for your requirement..?

 

If not you need to do well enough coding for this and can do in different ways

 

1)Create a work flow with required Entry criteria and Evolution criteria and with required actions.

    (Except that Email alert, if any..).

2)write Apex code to create one record and insert a record in to DB such that it meets criteria of WF.

3)Now write code for Sending Email in Apex as you required.

 

This approach will be best for you which need less amount of coding.
