Step 7: Configure start options
This topic is part of the Automate leave request notifications solution story. You are on Step 7 out of 8.
- Step 1: Create the list and columns in SharePoint
- Step 2: Design, configure, and publish the Leave Request form
- Step 3: Open the Workflow Gallery
- Step 4: Send acknowledgment email
- Step 5: Get the response for the leave request
- Step 6: Result notification email
- Step 7: Configure start options
- Step 8: Publish and test the workflow
After you design the workflow you can name the workflow and set the workflow start options. For this workflow we set the start options for the workflow to start automatically whenever a leave request is submitted (an item is added to the Leave Request SharePoint list we created).
