What is a Stand-alone workflow?

Stand-alone workflows are not connected to any online accounting platform. They can be used for the approval of any request or document, like contract approval, capital expenditure (CapEx), Supplier approval, request for time off or travel requests.

Stand-alone workflows are available with ApprovalMax Premium plans, which allow you to create as many stand-alone workflows as you need.
