How do approval workflows work?
Answer:
They route a proposed action to an approver, collect a decision, then proceed (or stop) with an auditable record.
The full story
Approval workflows route a proposed action to the right reviewer, then record the decision.
Practical guidelines
- Route to the right approver (role-based).
- Include context: payload + rationale + risk.
- Record decision for audit and learning.
A good rule: start conservative, measure outcomes, then expand autonomy where the data supports it.
