Approvals are used when you need to reach out to a Contact and have them approve something E.g a new laptop purchase or access to a specific SharePoint site

Individual Contacts at each Client can be designated as an approver by assigning them a Contact Tag that has been marked as approver.

Create an Approver tag

  1. Navigate to Settings —> Tags —> Contact Tags

  2. Create a Contact Tag (down the bottom)

    • Name: this is the name of the tag E.g ‘✅Special’

    • Mark as Approver: this is where you will configure it as an Approver tag — tick this box.

    • Description: this is where you can describe the tag in more detail. It’s internal and only visible here.

Designate a contact as an Approver

  1. Navigate to the Contact list

  2. Click the Contact you wish to designate as an Approver

    • From the Contact Tags dropdown, select the newly created ‘✅Special’ tag

    • In the Description field, describe anything extra related to what they can/can’t approve (or leave blank) E.g can only approve Engineering related requests

  1. Click Update

Initiate the Approval flow

  1. Create or navigate to an existing ticket (make sure the Client has at least one Contact with an Approver tag).

  2. Click the + button in the timelien tab and add an Approval

  3. Select one or multiple Contacts that you’d like to email

  4. Type the Approval comment

  5. Click Submit to send the email

The selected Contacts will receive an email with the comment you typed and YES/NO buttons to Approve or Deny the approval request.
