Possible Suggestion/Solution #1

Here's a trigger on Account that submits an approval process if the Rating is Cold.

trigger AccountRecordLock on Account (after update, after insert) {
  for (Account a : Trigger.New) {
    if (a.Rating == 'Cold') {
      // Create an approval request for the account
      Approval.ProcessSubmitRequest req1 =
      new Approval.ProcessSubmitRequest();
      req1.setComments('Automatic submit.');
      req1.setObjectId(a.id);

      // Submit the approval request for the account
      Approval.ProcessResult result = Approval.process(req1);
    }
  }
}

You need to use an APEX trigger. Here's a good example:

Possible Suggestion/Solution #3

trigger AccountRecordLock on Account (after update, after insert) {
 List<Approval.ProcessSubmitRequest> lstprocess=new List<Approval.ProcessSubmitRequest>();
 for (Account a : Trigger.New) {
    if (a.Rating == 'Cold') {
  // Create an approval request for the account
  Approval.ProcessSubmitRequest req1 =
  new Approval.ProcessSubmitRequest();
  req1.setComments('Automatic submit.');
  req1.setObjectId(a.id);
  lstprocess.add(req1);
}    
    // Submit the approval request for the account
       List<Approval.ProcessResult> resultlist = Approval.process(lstprocess);
 }
