# Deploy a Flow Approval Process

After you’ve designed and tested your flow approval process, you’re ready to put it to work.

- **[Set Up an Org-Wide Email Address for Flow Approval Processes](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=platform.automate_automated_approvals_deploy_create_org_wide_email_address.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5)**  
    To send emails from Flow Approval Processes, create an org-wide email address.
- **[Activate or Deactivate a Flow Approval Process](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=platform.automate_automated_approvals_distribute_activate.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5)**  
    You can have multiple versions of a flow approval process in Salesforce, but only one version of each flow approval process can be active at a time. You can activate or deactivate a flow approval process in Flow Builder or from the flow approval process’s detail page in Setup.
- **[Make Autolaunched Flow Approval Processes Available to Users](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=platform.automate_automated_approvals_deploy_allow_users_to_submit_approval.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5)**  
    Approvals based on an active, record-triggered flow approval process automatically run when a record is added or updated and meets the flow approval process’s entry criteria. However, approvals based on an active, autolaunched flow approval process aren’t run automatically. Before a user can manually submit an approval, create a button that calls an active autolaunched flow approval process and add the button to the relevant record page.
