Apply Workflow on Approval

Hi Guys,

How can I start a workflow once a user clicks the Approve button for a content item?

I noticed that I can add a workflow for Creating and Updating a content item but there is no option for approving.

Example:

I have a Press Release content item, once the content editor clicks the approve button, I would like to start a custom workflow

Thanks,

John.

We would like to initiate a custom workflow when a user clicks the approve button.
Based on the information in the Content Item we would like to automatically approve the item or send an email for a manual approval

The issue lies with step one in this process.

I don’t think you have a provision to start a wf when user clicked on approve button. Instead you can start the workflow on create/update event and have a custom program task and get the CI approval status. If you want to unapproved it (based on the information in CI) and send a manual task/email.

There is no option for a workflow on approval because approving is just updating. All that happens on approval is setting the approval status and committing the object just like is done when any other change is made.
