State Machine Automated Transition

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

1. Install and enable the module.
2. Navigate to the configuration page (/admin/config/system/automated-transition-settings).
3. Select workflows and transitions that should be applied automatically.
4. Save the configuration, and the module will handle transitions on entity updates.
