What are the different types of steps in a workflow?

Background

In Procore, a workflow consists of a series of steps. Each step defines a different part of the business process leading to the approval of an item in Procore. There are four (4) types of steps that you can create in a custom workflow: Response Step, End Step (Successful), End Step (Unsuccessful), and Condition step.

Answer

The table below describes the types of steps that you can create in a custom workflow.

Type

Definition

Example

Response Step

  • A response step represents a single action or process within a custom workflow.

  • It is always used to define the initial step in a custom workflow.

  • You can define:

    • Responsible Group

    • Days to Complete (Business Days or Calendar Days)

    • Item Status

    • Send Emails to Assignee and Responsible Group(s)

    • Responses

  • A Project Manager has an action step to review a subcontractor invoice and provide a Return or Approve response.

End Step (Successful)

  • An End Step (Successful) indicates all steps in the workflow are complete.

  • It is used to define the final step in a custom workflow.

  • You can define:

    • Item Status

    • Send Emails to Assignee and [Responsible Group(s)]

  • A subcontractor invoice is Approved by a Project Manager and under $99,999

  • A subcontractor invoice is Approved by a Vice President and is under $999,999

  • A subcontractor invoice is Approved by an Executive.

End Step (Unsuccessful)

  • An End Step (Unsuccessful) indicates that forward progress on the workflow has been terminated.

  • It is used to indicate that the custom workflow was terminated, but NOT completed.

  • A subcontractor invoice is Rejected by a Project Manager.

  • A subcontractor invoice is Returned by a Project Manager.

Condition Step

  • A condition step contains a When/Then statement. The 'When' part of the statement contains a (1) hypothesis and the 'Then' part of the statement contains (2) a conclusion.

  • When a subcontractor invoice amount is greater than $99,999.00, it must be routed to a Vice President for review.

  • When a subcontractor invoice is greater than $9,999,999.00, it must be routed to an Executive for review.
