Hi - is it possible to create an approval workflow when fields are edited? (Vendors) for example Where if I change the address, name, phone number, email it will set it to a pending approval status? Thanks,

Yes you can
j
Elaborate, please

the goal is just to inactivate the record vendor so you have to check and inline the inactive field when a user changes the record (you will need to use logic to compare the old record and current record value on your fields in question)
j
compare is the key in there
m
Or maybe use a trigger like after field edit ( adress Étc ) then the wf inactivate the vendor
j
that's what I'm trying to do now

You can use the “Old Record” in Workflow conditions to compare the Old Record to the updated record and if the field you are comparing has changed, perform the steps for approval.
j
how would you compare? For example on the Vendor Would it be Old Record > Company > Not Equals > Company Name Is that the path/
