How to Schedule a workflow Item?

Hi,

I need to schedule a workflow item to trigger at a particular date specified by the content author.

My Existing Workflow :

Approval1 ----> Approval2 ------>Approval3-----> MyCustomWorkFlowProcessStep----> Archive&ActivateItem(com.day.cq.wcm.workflow.process.CreateVersionProcess) ------> Activate Page/Asset(com.day.cq.wcm.workflow.process.ActivatePageProcess)

In MyCustomWorkFlowProcessStep, I want to schedule the next 2 steps to execute on the particular date specified by the author. How can this be done?

My Approach :

I created a class which implements WorkflowProcess. In that class I am scheduling a job using sling schedulig jobs to fire the job at the particular day. Now I need to call the other 2 pending workflow Items in the workflow, How can I achieve this? Can I directly call the CreateVersionProcess and ActivatePageProcess since they are osgi services? Also, is this the right way to do this?

Thanks a lot in advance
