Advanced Approvals

Improve approval workflows with Slack. Preview the dependency between approval steps for a submission. Invoke actions, such as Recall and Reassign Approval Work Item, by using Apex and autolaunched flows.

  • Keep Approvals Moving in Slack
    Bring your approval workflows into Slack. Reviewers can approve or reject requests and add comments directly in Slack, and submitters receive real-time notifications when requests are submitted and reviewed. The Approval Trace component on the related record monitors the Slack actions, giving teams a clear view of work item status and history.
  • Preview Approval Step Dependencies for Your Submission
    Show users the dependencies between approval steps. The preview window organizes the work items by their sequence order. This visibility also helps users estimate the approval timeline.
  • Customize and Automate Approval Actions with Flow and Apex
    Bring more flexibility to your approvals by using invocable actions from autolaunched flows and Apex. For example, create an autolaunched flow to review approval work items, or use Apex triggers to cancel pending approvals when a related record is updated.
  • Changed Connect REST API in Advanced Approvals
    Use the enhanced Preview Approval API to gain visibility into your business processes by previewing stage information and assignee details. Manage complex, multi-step approvals and task assignments.
