Put Review and Approval Inside the Workflow

Artificio Approvals lets a workflow stop at the exact point where a person must decide. Route the record and supporting documents to the right reviewer, use one or multiple approval levels, send secure approval links by email, capture accept / reject outcomes, and resume or redirect the process automatically.

How it works

Pause the workflow only when a person needs to decide.

Approvals work best when they are tied to the same rule and process state that created the need for review. The workflow can continue automatically after approval or follow an exception path after rejection.

Approval hierarchy

Make approval a workflow state, not an email chain.

Configure one or multiple approval levels, choose the right email design, use expiration where needed, and keep the decision attached to the underlying business record.
