Como funciona

Um ponto de aprovação coloca a tarefa em pausa no sítio onde está no formulário, até um aprovador lhe responder:

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

Aprovar a sua própria tarefa

A partir da 7.3.0, o utilizador que lançou uma tarefa não a pode aprovar, mesmo que tenha uma das funções da aprovação, pelo que é precisa uma segunda pessoa; um administrador pode sempre aprovar, incluindo as suas próprias tarefas. Quem lançou a tarefa pode ainda assim rejeitá-la (retirá-la). Defina allowSelf: true quando essa pessoa também a puder aprovar, por exemplo num formulário de teste:

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

Atributos

Os atributos de um ponto de aprovação:

Atributo Comentários
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 / obrigatório

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 / obrigatório

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)
