Workflow Triggers

Triggers allow the workflow designer to send out email notifications or putting a new entry in the audit trail when a document transitioning from one state to another.
There are two types of triggers:

• Audit Trail: allow the workflow designer to put an entry to the document routing history
• Email Notifications: allow the workflow designer to send out email notification to one or more recipients
