Abstract

It offers features that were only available to Apex coding, specifically Apex Triggers. There are more areas that Lightning Process Builder can be used to augment though. What about approval processes? Does Lightning Process Builder offer any features around approval processes? What are the capabilities and limitations? These are questions we will answer. In the past, when a Salesforce administrator set up an approval process he or she had to go through a lot of steps to define how it functioned. Once complete, the Salesforce administrator then depends on an individual to click an Approve button to start the approval process he or she had defined. With all the work the put into setting it up, the administrator still depends on an individual to start the approval process.
