Explanation

An Approval Process (D) manages the structured review workflow, routing the expense report to managers and directors in the required sequence and capturing their approval decisions. An Outbound Message (A) is a workflow action that automatically sends an XML-formatted SOAP message to an external endpoint (the HR system) when triggered - for example, upon final approval. Together they handle both the internal review process and the external system integration. Email Alert Actions (B) only send emails and cannot transmit structured data to an external API. Quick Actions (C) are user-initiated UI shortcuts, not automated integration or review tools.
