Activating workflow by custom activity

Hi all,

using a WebServiceInputActivity I can specify IsActivating = true to create a new workflow instance if that published web service is called.

Now I would like to create my own custom activity that activates a workflow by some custom events. Let's say I want to activate a workflow as soon as an email has been received.

How can I implement such a custom activity

Regards,

Alex

    I guess this article points in the right direction http://www.codeproject.com/useritems/WSTransferWorkflow.asp

    However, this is probably not what I want to do ;)

    Alex - you can do this - but then you need to write the hosting layer. That is how the WebServiceInputActivity works - is that the host that activitates workflows versus routes messages to workflows is written by MS.
