Generate approvals using Workflow flows

Workflow Studio flows are a powerful and flexible method of generating approvals. Use workflow flows to create group approvals and user approvals.

A variety of variables are available to fine-tune the approval process, including the actions that occur when approval or rejection take place. When a Workflow Studio flow generates an approval record, the system populates the Flow field on the approval record with a reference to the flow and the Ask for Approval action. Do not use this field when creating business logic. For more information, see Ask for Approval action.

Note: Conflicts can arise when the approval process for a table is managed by both the Workflow Studio engine and the approval engine. In general, if there is a Workflow Studio flow that manages the approval process for a table, the approval engine should be turned off for that table.
