I need a workflow that sends an email to purchasing agent when purchase order is approved Here is what i have so far but for some reason its not sending an email

It looks like your Send Email action is triggering when the transaction Enters State 1 (which I think is your beginning state). What is controlling the Approval process for your purchase orders? Is it a different workflow? You can try 2 things. 1. Set your trigger to After Record Submit (this may not work, as I'm not familiar with how you are approving the PO) 2. Make a State 2, then do a transition from State 1 (pending approval) to State 2 when it is approved, then put your Send Email action in state 2. So when the WF transitions to State 2 it will trigger the Email

ill try the second suggestion
