How to activate Workflow or field updates in my existing org

Hi guys,

I working on a professional edition of Salesforce which does not have Workflow or Field Updates enabled. I read somewhere that these features should now be available on Professional Editions. Is this true? 

If not, I am trying to map a field from the Product Object across to the Opportunity Object. I was previously able to achieve this in an Enterprise Edition by using a field update. I'm unable to configure this in the Professional Org becuase it does not have Workflows or Field Updates. Is there any alternative?

Hi nevin,

workflows and field updates are not available in professional edition in salesforce classic ...for workflow you need to buy some apps from appexchange.for lightning professional edition wworkflow is possible..

As workflows are not available in salesforce in professional edition field updates are also not available in professional editon.
 if you want to use workflows in professional editon ...buy some apps from app exchange

Available in Professional Edition as an extra cost add on (contact your Salesforce rep)
  1. Workflow
  2. API
  3. Custom Profiles / Page Layouts
  4. Offline Access.

Thanks Vishnu,

Is there any workaround then? I just need a field from the Product object to map across to the Opportunity Object.
