How do I set the conditions for a request to move from one stage to another?

Cflow’s Rules Engine lets you automate request routing based on specific conditions. You can create rules that determine how and when a request moves from one stage to another within your workflow. Here’s how to do it:

1. Open Automation Tab

Navigate to the workflow you want to modify, and click on the Automation tab at the top.

2. Add a New Rule

Click on “Add Rule” and provide a name. e.g., Move to Manager Review.

3. Define Rule Conditions

Set up your conditions under the Rule Condition section. You can use simple or compound logic like:

  • If: Finance Review Status = Approved
  • AND: Bill Amount < 25000

You can also click on “Add Condition” or “Add Nested Condition” for more complex logic.

Use of multiple conditions

You can combine multiple conditions using AND/OR logic and also create nested conditions for more advanced workflows.

4. Add a Move Action

On the right-hand panel, click “Add Action” and select Move.

Choose the next process stage from the dropdown (e.g., Manager Review) and give the action a clear description like “Move to Manager Review”.

Once your conditions and action are in place, click Save to activate the rule.

Deleting a Rule or Action in Cflow

If you need to remove an automation rule or a specific action associated with a rule, follow these steps:

To delete an individual action:

  • On the right-hand side under the Action section, hover over the action card (e.g., Move to Manager Review or Email to Manager Review). 
  • Click the trash icon next to the specific action you want to delete.
