# Triggers for Flow Approval Processes

Creating or updating a record can start a record-triggered flow approval process. In the Start element of a record-triggered flow approval process, configure the conditions for the trigger. Use Flow Trigger Explorer to order record-triggered flow approval processes, orchestrations, and flows.

### Required Editions

<table class="slds-table slds-table_bordered slds-max-medium-table_stacked slds-m-bottom_small edition"><colgroup><col style="width:100%"></colgroup><tbody><tr class=""><td class="slds-cell-wrap" style="vertical-align:top;"><a href="https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=platform.automate_automated_approvals_about_supported_editions.htm&amp;release=264.0.0&amp;type=5" title="Review the supported products and editions for Flow Approval Processes.">View supported editions for Flow Approval Processes.</a></td></tr></tbody></table>

In Flow Approval Processes, the trigger occurs after a record is saved. You can’t configure a flow approval process to start after a record is deleted.
