Workflows only fire on save.

 

The other would be a validation rule, but they only prevent saves if requirements are not met.

 

However I thought there was something in the approval process that would mandate it to be submitted if certain requirements were meet on the record.

Yes, go ahead and create the approval process and you can set criteria to have it automatically go into the approval process if field X = blank or a specific text.
