Trigger Steps
An approval begins with a Trigger step. This step might be submitting a form, receiving an email, or reaching a set time - like noon on Monday.
Every Trigger step not only starts the approval but also provides the information it needs to run. You can use several different trigger types for the same approval, as long as each one gives the required data.
Below are the types of Trigger steps currently available in GoApprove.
Teams
Start an approval when a form is filled out in Microsoft Teams.
Control Steps
Control steps let you manage the flow of your approval. They let you create different branches and loop back to previous steps. They also mark the start and end of an approval.
Here are the different types of Control steps in GoApprove.
Activity Steps
Activity steps are tasks that need to be done. They can be completed automatically by a system or manually by a person.
When a step is automated, it is performed by a system or service without any human involvement, whilst manual steps might be performed by someone in your team, a customer, or a supplier.
Here are the types of Activity steps currently available in GoApprove.
Teams
A task or action that someone in your organisation needs to perform in Microsoft Teams.
