Workflows doesn’t autostart

still in Sharepoint 2013, the same issue. Though I’ve enabled mailto function on a list the workflows doesn’t start when new item is created.

Check if its activated

1. stsadm –o getproperty –pn declarativeworkflowautostartonemailenabled

If this shows : <Property Exist=”No” />

Run

2. stsadm -o setproperty -pn declarativeworkflowautostartonemailenabled -pv true

Then try mailing the list again and the workflow should kick in.
