Why a "After record updated" type workflow can not be triggered by "System" update?

[chrisjiang]

Hi,

I have a workflow with "After record updated" trigger. It works fine when a record is updated by users except "System" (I have another workflow which makes automatic updates on record and such updates will be done by "System"). When updates done why "System" the workflow can not be triggered.

Anything I did wrong or this is a bug?

My "After record updated" workflow is as the following screenshot:

Hi,

Workflow Update Record doesn't trigger another workflow. It's by design. You can call another sequential workflow with the same actions.

Got it. Thanks for the clarification!
