In this fast-paced world time is money for your organization. You can save time by automating the processes by configuring workflow. Also, you can help make operations more efficient with standardized internal procedures and automated business processes.

To automatically perform the procedures and processes, you must do settings based on your workflow requirements.

Design workflow actions, and then configure workflow rules, and approval processes that determine the conditions under which actions are executed.

Workflow is a series of activities that automates the following types of actions:

Actions

Description

TasksA task is a type of workflow action by which you can determine the details of an assignment given to a specified user by a workflow rule or approval process. Create tasks and then associate them with the workflow rules or approval processes that will trigger them. When a workflow rule or approval process meets the business conditions that you set up, any tasks associated with it are assigned to designated users with the Subject, Status, Priority, and Due Date of the workflow task.
Email AlertsEmail alerts are emails generated by a workflow rule or approval process and sent to intended recipients whenever specific business actions trigger the workflow rule or approval process. Email alerts contain the standard text and list of recipients for an email. It is recommended that you specify an email template for email alerts.
Field UpdatesField updates are actions associated with workflow rules or approval processes. With Field updates, you can automatically specify a field value.
Outbound MessagesOutbound messages send a secure configurable API message in XML format to a designated listener. For example, automatically initiate the reimbursement process for an approved expense report by triggering an outbound API message to an external HR system.
