Eprints is a repository. For workflow business logic, it is better to 
use a proper tool like

Both open source. They are called BPM softwares (Business Process 
Modeling). Here you can find more:

BPM can interact with other systems (social too!) and Eprints can be the 
final step, where data goes at the end.
