Steps​

Steps are the building blocks of your approval. There are three types:

  • Trigger – Starts the approval (e.g., form submitted, email received).
  • Activity – Performs an action or task.
  • Control – Manages flow (e.g., branches, loops, or merges).

Data​

Each step needs specific data and may pass data to the next step. This data drives the approval’s decisions and actions.

Formulas​

Formulas (like in Excel) let you calculate, transform, or combine data for use in steps.
