Critical decisions move forward with rules, ownership and history

Apply approval chains to partners and opportunities, control deadlines and prevent unauthorized moves while a decision is pending.

Every participant knows what they must decide

The flow distributes responsibility without removing context from the originating record.

Administrator and requester

The administrator configures the chain; the requester submits the item and tracks progress.

  • Conditions by entity type
  • Sequential or consensus stages
  • Deadlines, alerts and escalations

Approver and partner

The approver receives the pending action and records the decision. Partners participate when allowed.

  • Decision with comments
  • Pending queue
  • Stage and owner timeline

From approval rule to outcome

The matching chain is selected automatically and guides the decision to completion.

Approval flow FAQs

Which records can enter an approval flow?
