Hey Zia!
Heres some overview:
- Microflows are used for smaller, more granular pieces of logic within Mendix applications.
- They are designed to automate simple tasks or operations within the application.
- Microflows are typically used to define the behavior of individual buttons, actions, or events within the user interface.
- Workflows, on the other hand, are used for orchestrating complex, multi-step processes within Mendix applications.
- Workflows often represent the flow of work through an organization, defining how tasks are assigned, completed, and monitored.
- In Mendix, workflows are typically used to manage processes such as approval workflows, order processing, issue tracking, and other similar scenarios.
I would recommend referring to these posts, they have great explanations to explain you the differences.
