A Workflow in an application is to define the sequence structure of steps and actions that represent how a business process operates within an organization. It enables automation of tasks, decision-making, and approvals by assigning responsibilities to specific users or roles in a systematic manner.
In simple terms, a workflow determines how information or tasks move from one stage to another—from initiation to completion.
There are three types of workflows in Quixy:
Sequential Workflow – Steps are executed one after another in a fixed order.
Parallel Workflow – Multiple steps can run simultaneously, allowing faster processing.
Conditional Workflow – Routes process based on specific conditions or rules.

Follow the steps below to create a simple sequential workflow:
Note
- You can combine Sequential, Parallel, and Conditional flows within the same workflow for more complex processes.
- Steps can also be expanded or customized later as your process evolves.
Each step and step action has properties that define its behavior. Here, you can:

You can also combine all three types of workflows — Sequential, Parallel, and Conditional — within a single process to create a comprehensive business flow.
Example: Purchase Order (PO) Approval Workflow
This approach provides flexibility to design complex, realistic workflows that mirror your organization’s actual processes.
