In addition , since we are creating workflows in SharePoint Apps. However this has been limited to the workflows living exclusively within the AppWeb where the app was installed. If you wanted to have the workflow run in a regular SharePoint site, such as a Team Site, or a non-AppWeb site , for example, deploy Workflows to Host Web , you could deploy as Integrated Workflow Apps.
