Creating Workflows in Subscribe-HR

Workflows Explained

You are probably wondering what Request Type Workflows are and how they can help automate HR processes.

Request Type Workflows are a sequence of connected steps that are triggered when an action is performed, these steps may cause someone to be notified of the action and the person notified to respond to the action.

Example: An Employee submits a Leave Request, this could trigger a workflow to notify the manager.
The manager will receive a request template, when the manager approves or denies the request for leave this triggers another action in the workflow to notify the employee of the outcome of the leave request.
