Ask for approval
Send a request to the right people and see each decision as it happens.
I built approvals so a request goes straight to the person who can say yes, and nobody has to chase anyone.
Ask
- Type /request in a hub's chat, press an Ask for approval button on a panel, or choose Request approval in a message's actions.
- Pick what you're asking for, answer its questions and choose Send request.
- Watch it in Approvals. Each decision shows up as it happens.
Approve or decline
When a request waits on you, it's in Activity with Approve and Decline. Add a note if you like. One tap and it moves on.
Set it up
In Manage, Workflows, choose New workflow and start from Time off, Post approval, Role request or Purchase or expense request, or add Ask for approval to any workflow. Choose who approves (a person, a role, a team or the requester's manager), whether anyone or everyone must approve, an optional second approval, a deadline with a reminder and someone to escalate to, and what happens on approve and on decline.
