What is the Nudge functionality in ApprovalMax?

Updated over 2 months ago

With the NUDGE APPROVERS button, Organisation Administrators, Requesters, Reviewers and Approvers can send reminders (email notifications) to Approvers and/or Reviewers who haven't yet acted on a request.

This feature is available for requests with the On Review, On Approval or On Hold status.


The audit log entry will record who was nudged:

Who can use the Nudge functionality?

• Requesters

• Approvers

• Reviewers

• Administrators

Any request participant and Organisation Administrators can nudge Approvers/Reviewers in any request step.

Please note: Reviewers/Approvers of a request who are also its Requester will not receive a Nudge notification.

  • 24 hours after the Nudge feature was used

  • 24 hours after the request was created

  • 24 hours after the request was restarted
