What is the difference between workflow and approval flow?

A workflow refers to the overall sequence of tasks and processes that need to be completed to achieve a specific business outcome. An approval flow is a specific type of workflow that focuses on obtaining approvals at various stages of the process.

Approval flows are often part of a larger workflow and involve specific steps where tasks or decisions must be reviewed and approved by designated stakeholders before proceeding. Platforms like Kissflow allow organizations to design both workflows and approval flows, ensuring that processes are completed efficiently and that necessary approvals are obtained at the appropriate stages.
