Always approve

If an action repeats and you’ll always want it, you can stop approving it every time.

Create the rule

1. On a pending request, click Always approve.
2. A confirmation opens: “Always approve “{action}”?”. It says future actions of that type on that resource will apply on their own, without asking, and that this one will too.
3. Confirm with Always approve.

The rule is tied to that action type on that resource: for example, creating drafts in your Gmail mailbox, or commenting on an issue.

See and undo the rules

Go to Activity and the Auto-approval tab. There all your rules appear, grouped by connector. Each one says whether it applies without asking or waits for your approval, and has a switch to turn it on or off.

Turning a rule off asks for your approval again for that action type.

Note

If a project has read sensitive data, rules don’t apply: those actions always need your manual approval (Restricted data).

If your organization turned off Always approve, the rules don’t apply either. Each one shows Won’t apply: your organization turned off “Always approve”, so actions require manual approval. And you can’t create new rules.
