Use comprehensive business events for workflow status transitions

Idea Lab

You can now subscribe to workflow status change business events for workflow objects, enabling integrations to respond across the entire workflow lifecycle. With this enhancement, a new Workflow Status Update Event is raised whenever an eligible object moves from one workflow status to another, including promotions, demotions, repeated status transitions, cancellations, and failures.

This event enables downstream applications to react to business processes as they evolve, rather than relying on periodic polling or monitoring only selected workflow milestones.

The event includes both the previous and current workflow status, allowing integrations to determine exactly how the workflow has progressed. The initial event payload contains the following key identifiers:

  • Change ID

  • Change Notice

  • Organization ID

  • Base Change Type Code

  • Change Type Value (Internal Name)

  • Old Status Type

  • New Status Type

  • Old Status Internal Name

  • New Status Internal Name

This workflow business event is intentionally lightweight and provides the identifiers required to correlate workflow activity.

Supported objects include engineering change orders, commercial change orders, change orders without revision control, change requests, deviation change requests, problem reports, and corrective actions.

This feature provides the following business benefits:

  • Enables real-time process automation: Triggers business events at every workflow status transition, allowing downstream applications to respond immediately without relying on periodic polling or custom monitoring.

  • Simplifies enterprise integrations: Provides standardized workflow events across change management processes, reducing integration complexity and accelerating the development of connected business applications.

  • Improves visibility and traceability: Captures every workflow status transition including promotions and repeated status changes, providing a complete audit trail throughout the workflow lifecycle.

  • Supports faster, more responsive business processes: Enables automated validations, notifications, and downstream actions at key workflow checkpoints, helping organizations improve operational efficiency and reduce manual intervention.

Steps to enable and configure

You don't need to do anything to enable this feature.

Tips and considerations

  • Existing business events remain available and are fully supported. This new Workflow Status Update Event extends the event framework to provide broader lifecycle coverage without affecting existing integrations.

  • New Item Requests have their own business events, and these continue to function as expected.

  • You can invoke your preferred enrichment call to retrieve additional workflow details based on your integration requirements.

  • Use the Base Change Type Code to determine which enrichment REST call to use for retrieving additional details.
