A Parallel Workflow in Quixy allows multiple process steps to run at the same time instead of one after another. This workflow is used when different users or departments must act simultaneously before the process moves to the next stage.
- Unlike a Sequential Workflow (which follows a straight path), a Parallel Workflow splits the process into multiple paths, executes them together, and then joins them again before continuing.
Tip
Use a Parallel Workflow when your process requires multiple approvals or actions at once.
¶ 1. Configuring a Parallel Workflow
Follow these steps to configure a Parallel Workflow in your application:
- Go to the Workflow Builder in your application.
- The first step (usually the Form Submission) appears by default.
- Click on the Step Action button and select Parallel Workflow.
- Add two or more steps that need to run simultaneously.
- The new step links to the previous one to define the order of execution and creates parallel paths.
- Assign clear, descriptive names for each step (e.g., Finance Approval, Procurement Review).
- Assign different roles or teams to each parallel step based on their responsibility.
- Rename the step action button with respective names— such as Approve, Reject, or Hold.
- Customize each step’s behavior and outcomes as required.

→ Learn more about Workflow- Step Action Properties - Once all parallel paths and connections are configured terminate the flow by clicking on step action buttons.
- Save the flow.
Note
Parallel workflows improve efficiency by allowing multiple tasks to happen at the same time, reducing process delays.
