How can I enable business process approval workflow for custom objects in Application Composer?

This topic covers how you can use object workflows to trigger business process workflows.

You can create and deploy a project in business process composer and then call it from object workflow of type Business Process Flow.

Here are the high-level steps in Application Composer:

1. Create a custom field to track the approval status. Let's call it Submit_C.

2. Navigate to Business Process > Actions > Create to create and deploy a business process flow using the ExtnBusinessProcessComposite template.

3. Navigate to Object Workflows > Actions > Create.
   1. Let's assume you're creating an object workflow of type Business Process Flow using the Opportunity object, and are specifying the required approver and heldEntityStatusField parameters.

   2. You can use the expression builder to provide the trigger condition on Submit_C field as follows isAttributeChanged('Submit_c') && Submit_c=='Y'

4. When the trigger condition is met, the Oracle Business Process Management (BPM) Worklist application will list the request for appropriate action. You can change the standard notification shown in the worklist application.
