Answer an approval
Decide a request a flow is waiting on: open it under Approvals, read what it asks, and pick an option. The run goes on down the path you chose.
Steps
Open Approvals
Open Approvals. Assigned to me lists the requests waiting for you in the environment you are in; Open, every waiting request in the workspace.
Read the request
Click it: its question, its data and Who decides open beside the list. Open the run shows the run that asked.
Pick an option
Click Approve, Reject or another option the flow offers; it may ask for a comment first. The run goes on along that option's path, and the request moves to Decided, with what you chose.
How it works
Each option is a path out of the Ask for approval node.
When the flow lets someone outside the workspace decide, they get an email with a link to decide without signing in. A used link, or one whose request is closed, says "This link does not work".
A request nobody answers before it expires ends the wait: the run takes its timeout path or fails, as the builder chose.
If it did not work
- "Only the people this request names can decide it." On Prod, only those under Who decides may answer. Ask one of them, or ask the flow's builder to add you.
- The request is not under Open. It was decided or expired: look under Decided. Or it waits in the other environment: switch at the top of the sidebar.
