Approvals

When a workflow reaches an Approval Gate node, execution pauses until a human responds. Approvals can be actioned from two places.

From the execution log​

  1. Go to Logs and click View on the paused execution.
  2. Find the row with status Pending Approval.
  3. Click Approve or Reject.
  4. A dialog appears — enter an optional reason and confirm.

The execution immediately resumes (Approve) or is cancelled (Reject). The log updates to reflect the outcome.

From the workflow editor canvas​

If you have the workflow open in the editor while the execution is running:

  1. The Approval Gate node turns teal on the canvas.
  2. Approve and Reject buttons appear directly on the node card.
  3. Click either button and confirm in the dialog.

Approval reason​

The reason you enter is captured in the execution log. It is visible in the node's expanded detail row and provides an audit trail for why a step was approved or rejected.

Timeouts​

If no response is received within the timeout configured on the Approval Gate node, the execution is automatically cancelled. The node status shows as Timed Out in the log.
