This complexity can mean that you spend more time waiting for each person to complete their review in the right order. Flow Approval Processes helps you coordinate multistep reviews that involve users, systems, and conditional paths."), a modern alternative to Classic Approval Processes. This new feature provides a more flexible, user-friendly flow-based interface, and it can trigger on record changes, supporting Apex extensibility and detailed logging for compliance and audit trails. It supports dynamic routing based on data and business rules, unlike Classic Approval Processes, which are tied to specific objects and offer limited support for processes by using conditions. With Flow Approval Processes, you can monitor submitted records and quickly identify bottlenecks, giving you unprecedented visibility into approval workflows. And, like Classic Approval Processes, Flow Approval Processes don’t consume automation credits or orchestration runs. Lightning Experience: - Add the Items to Approve component to the appropriate Lightning Home pages. This component is available only for Home pages. To add it to a Home page, use the Lightning App Builder in Setup. - Add the Approval Requests navigation item to the appropriate Lightning apps. This item is available only for Lightning apps. To add it to a Lightning app, use the App Manager in Setup.
