Structured Approval Workflows with Various Steps
Build flexible approval workflows in Confluence with users, groups, votes, emails, automation, and webhooks. Set due dates, send reminders, and track progress in real-time to ensure a smooth approval process.
Vote, Delegate, Abstain for Enhanced Flexibility
Enable flexible approvals with voting, delegation, and abstain options. Set approval thresholds, require justifications, and automate outcomes based on voting results. Adjust voting rules to fit your team's needs.
Monitor Your Approvals in Real-Time
Watch ongoing approvals in real time. Manage them: archive, delete, send manual notifications, or take action on your approvals directly from this dashboard. Export the data to CSV for easier reporting.
How does it work
To run an approval process, you need to define it first.
Such a definition can be specified by an admin on a global, or space-specific level (a global admin will have access to the app on a global level).
Every definition may consist of an unlimited number of steps.
Steps can be run sequentially (by default) or you can create a parallel group and put some (or all) steps simultaneously. For each step, you can choose what action is required: 'approval', 'consent', or 'notification' (to only notify someone about the current progress).
Users can approve/consent, reject, or abstain with or without an additional comment. And, if someone is absent, a delegation can be created to ask another person to take action on behalf of the missing one.
Definitions serve as a template for approval and can be run multiple times. Several approvals can be launched simultaneously for a single page (each one can be customized). You can set automatic reminders, send manual reminders, and watch the approval process live or see its report in the history/comment tab.
Provides Space and Page Permission Schemes, so if you need to grant or revoke specific permissions, there’s room for customization.
