Zoho Writer workflows now support custom stages, parallel reviews, and external approvers
Hello everyone,
Zoho Writer now lets you build your own approval chains. The pre-built workflows also get new review modes, completion criteria, and external approver support.
What’s new
- Custom workflows: Design review and approval processes from scratch, with your own stages and completion criteria. For example, a sales contract can go through Salesperson Review → Sales Manager Approval → Legal Approval → Customer Approval.
- File and folder-level workflows: Apply a workflow to a file or a folder. Any document added to that folder (for example, a contracts folder in WorkDrive) enters the workflow automatically.
- Scheduled workflow start: Start a workflow automatically at a set date and time, so nobody has to trigger it manually.
- Parallel and sequential reviews: Send a document to all reviewers at once, or to one reviewer after another in a set order.
- Custom completion criteria per stage: Require all reviewers to approve, or let any one approval move the document forward.
- External reviewers and approvers: Add customers, vendors, or partners by email address.
