Overview

Use object workflows to automate business processes. When you create an object workflow, you state which business object you're impacting, such as Opportunity. You also define the actions that should take place in the application.

Conditions are events that occur immediately when the application implements your configured actions, unless you have defined a time rule (execution schedule) for one or more actions.

This chapter covers:

• Concepts and terminology used in object workflows.

• How you set trigger conditions for object workflows using groovy scripts.

• How you can use object workflows to configure event actions such as tasks, e-mail notifications, field updates, business process flows, and outbound messages.

• How you can create an approval flow using Oracle Business Process Management (BPM) Composer and then trigger the approval flow through object workflows.
