Cómo funciona

Un punto de aprobación pausa el trabajo en su posición dentro del formulario hasta que un aprobador responde:

When you want to pause a job and ask for approval first. You can insert an approval point using the approval-object attributes

Aprobar tu propio trabajo

Desde 7.3.0, el usuario que lanzó un trabajo no puede aprobarlo, aunque tenga uno de los roles de la aprobación, así que hace falta una segunda persona; un administrador siempre puede aprobar, también sus propios trabajos. Quien lo lanzó sí puede rechazar (retirar) su propio trabajo. Pon allowSelf: true cuando también pueda aprobarlo, por ejemplo en un formulario de prueba:

approval:
  title: Approve the change
  message: Please approve this change
  roles:
    - approvers
  allowSelf: true

Atributos

Los atributos de un punto de aprobación:

Atributo Comentarios
title
string

Approval message title
Free text with placeholders

The approval point consists out of a title and message. This is the title attribute, used as the subject of the approval mail.
Without it, the mail gets the default approval subject. A workflow’s approval nodes take the node’s name as title.
Note: This supports placeholders (the placeholders point to extravars)
message
string / obligatorio

Approval message
Free text with placeholders

The approval point consists out of a title and message. This is the message attribute.
Note: This supports placeholders (the placeholders point to extravars)
roles
array / obligatorio

The approver roles
a valid role

Every role in this list will have the power to approve or reject this job.
notifications
array

The approval recipients
a valid email address

Every email-address in this list will receive the approval message by email with the approval link.
channels
array

The approval channels
the name of a notification channel

The notification channels of Connections > Notifications that receive the approval message, with a link to the job, where it is approved or rejected: Slack, Microsoft Teams, Telegram, a webhook.
A mail channel in this list sends the approval mail to the notifications addresses through that server instead of the active one.
A name that is not there is said in the log and skipped. (Added in 7.0.0)
allowSelf
boolean

The requester may approve their own job
true or false

By default the user who launched a job cannot approve it, even with one of the approver roles: another approver must, so every approved job was seen by two people. The requester can still reject (withdraw) their own job. Set allowSelf: true to let the requester approve their own job too. An admin can always approve any job, their own included, whatever this says. (Added in 7.3.0)
