> Notifications are delivered according to notification settings for the receiver, not the sender. That's an important distinction because it means that when someone requests an approval as part of a workflow their request is not necessarily sent immediately. Instead, it will be delivered according to the approvers's notification settings.

Many approval workflow steps are about notifying users that an event has occurred that they must act on. For example, on one workflow step, the event can be that User 1 requests approval of a new record. The related response is that a notification is sent to User 2, the approver. On the next workflow step, the event can be that User 2 approves the record. The related response is that a notification is sent to User 3 to start a process with the approved record. For workflow steps that are about approval, each notification is tied to an approval entry. For more information, see [Workflow](across-workflow.md).
