Automatically approve requests

Are you looking for Automation?

This article is relevant to Legacy automation in service projects created before August 30, 2021. If you don’t see Legacy automation in your service project, check out these Automation articles.

You can use automation rules to auto-approve requests that meet certain conditions. For example, you might auto-approve purchase requests that are under a certain amount. Find out how to set up rules to automate repetitive tasks.

    • When this happens: Work item created

    • If these match: budget <= "5"

    • Then do this: Automatically approve
