Overview

Approvals lets you define structured approval workflows that route quote actions through approval chains before responses are sent to partners. This ensures proper review and sign-off on pricing, margins, and terms.

Action Flows

An action flow defines the approval states and transitions for a specific type of review. To create one:

1. Click Create Action in the top toolbar
2. Enter an Action Name and Description
3. Define your States — the ordered list of stages (e.g., Pending, Review, Approved, Rejected)
4. Configure Transitions — which states can move to which other states
5. Set Terminal States — designate which states end the flow as success (e.g., Approved) or failure (e.g., Rejected)
6. Choose whether the action is Mandatory — mandatory actions must complete before a quote response can be sent
7. Optionally set Auto-Remind — number of hours after which to automatically remind the approver
8. Configure the Rule — whether this action fires before or after the quote response

​

Managing Actions

Click View Flows to see all configured action flows. From here you can:

• Enable/Disable an action flow
• Edit the name, description, mandatory status, auto-remind interval, and partner exceptions
• Delete an action flow

Integration with Inbox

When a mandatory action flow is active, the Inbox will show the approval status on quote threads. Approvers receive an email with a link to review and advance the approval state. Quote responses are blocked until all mandatory actions reach a terminal success state.
