Approving Requests in Approveit Web App

Approvers can manage requests efficiently within the Approveit web application.

When a request requires your attention, you’ll receive an email notification.

After reviewing, choose to “APPROVE” or “REJECT” the request. You can also add comments to provide context or feedback.

Once you’ve approved or rejected the request, you will be redirected to the Web App where you can add a comment to it and check the status.

This process ensures that all approvals are documented within the document approval system, maintaining a clear audit trail.

Managing Approval Requests

Approveit offers comprehensive tools for managing your approval requests:

Monitor the progress of your requests by navigating to “Approval Requests” and selecting the specific request to view its status.

If a request is no longer needed and hasn’t been approved yet, you can cancel it by selecting the request and clicking on “Cancel”.

Email Notifications and Approvals

Approveit streamlines communication through email notifications:

  • Approval Notifications: Approvers receive emails prompting them to review and act on pending requests.

  • Direct Actions: Within the email, approvers can directly “APPROVE” or “REJECT” requests without logging into the web app.

  • Status Updates: Requestors are notified via email once their requests have been approved or rejected.
