Along with using classic workflows as an action step, you can also set classic workflows to run on stage transition. Stage transition is the process of ending one stage and starting the next.
The stage transition triggers are as follows:
- Stage entry
- Stage exit
Imagine having two stages; that is, Stage A, followed by Stage B. When Stage A transitions to Stage B, the workflows set to trigger on exit of Stage A and the workflows set to trigger on entry to Stage B will both be executed.
A classic workflow must be active, available on demand, and be configured for the same entity as the stage.
A workflow set to trigger on stage entry on the first stage in a business process flow, or a workflow set to trigger on stage exit on the final stage in a business process flow, will never be executed. Therefore, you should use a global workflow in such scenarios.
