7.4.1 Create Flows
Workflows
Workflows can help you automate the company's standard processes. A Workflow includes an object to which a flow rule applies, criteria that activate the Workflow, and the Workflow action itself, such as creating a task or sending an email notification.
Salesforce is currently in the process of deprecating Workflow Rules. For more information, you can refer to the ADvendio announcement or the Salesforce Transition to Flow article.

For new Flows processes please refer to Salesforce Trailheads Build Flows with Flow Builder.
Default Workflow Rules in the ADvendio Package
Due to Workflow Rules deprecation by Salesforce, we are reviewing the rules and will move the relevant rules to the Flows below.
Our ADvendio Package includes a set of Workflow Rules that can assist with ADvendio-related processes or serve as examples for automating and supporting your data management. Some of these rules were created but not activated, and if you wish to use them, you will need to activate them in Setup.
Below is a comprehensive list of all predefined Rules and their intended purpose.
