Firstly, create a new list workflow - in the workflow settings you can configure how it starts on item creation and/or modification - you can do this conditionally if required.

 

I'd always recommend using a state machine as they're much easier to manage when workflows get complex. Have the following branches:

 

-Awaiting Approval

-Approved

-Rejected

 

The first branch will be awaiting approval, use an 'Assign Flexi Task' to create a workflow task to the approver. This action automatically includes two outcome branches for approved and rejected. After each one, include a 'change state' to change the state machine to either the Approved of Rejected branch.

 

For each of these branches, include a 'send notification' action to send an appropriate customised email to the initiator of the workflow.
