The State Machine Automated Transition module allows automatic state transitions (chained transition) in state_machine controlled workflows. It provides a configuration interface to select which transitions should be applied automatically, streamlining entity state management. Transitions will only be applied automatically if the corresponding guards allow it.
Features
- Automated State Transitions – Configurable automatic transitions for entities using the State Machine module.
- Configuration UI – Admin interface to list workflows and transitions, allowing users to select which should be applied automatically.
- Transition Orchestrator – On entity update, the module checks for applicable transitions and applies the first valid one.
- Simple Handling of Multiple Matches – If multiple transitions are found, the module selects the first applicable one for simplicity.
Use Cases
- Moving orders to the next status in a custom e-commerce workflow.
- Automatically closing support tickets after a response is marked as resolved.
Post-Installation
- Install and enable the module.
- Navigate to the configuration page (
/admin/config/system/automated-transition-settings). - Select workflows and transitions that should be applied automatically.
- Save the configuration, and the module will handle transitions on entity updates.
