  • Open the workflow for which you want to specify an Auto-Approval step and click on the + button, then click on Add Auto-Approval step:


    You can create this step either during the workflow setup, or later.

  • In the pop-up, click on ENABLE to start the Auto-Approval step setup:

  • Click on HIDE to collapse the Auto-Approval step. You can return to the setup later.

  • To proceed with the settings, click on AUTO-APPROVAL SETTINGS:

  • You can set Auto-Approval rules based on fields such as:

Item

  • Click on DONE to save your workflow settings.

Please note: The rules in an Auto-Approval step will be checked first. If the rules in the Auto-Approval step are not met, the request will pass through the other approval steps. If one of the rules in the Auto-Approval step is met, the request will be auto-approved.
