Review a pending request
1
Open Pending Approvals
Go to Notifications > Pending Approvals. Choose Pending in the status filter to focus on requests awaiting a decision. All statuses includes recent review history.
2
Open the review
Select the request row. Check the rule, action type, requested time, and expiry when shown. For an email, review Recipients and Email Preview.
3
Make changes if needed
For editable email content, select Edit, update Subject or Body, then select Preview to review the result. Recipients are displayed for review; this editor does not offer a recipient-change control.Add Review Notes (optional) to explain the decision. Content edits remain in the dialog until you approve; Preview is not a save action.
4
Submit the decision
Choose Approve or Approve with Changes to release the action, or Reject to stop that pending request. Wait for confirmation. Cancel closes the dialog without submitting the decision or saving the draft edits.
Check history and delivery status
Use All statuses, Approved, or Rejected to find recent decisions. The Approved filter also includes items displayed as Sent. Table column filters can narrow the status or rule further; clear them if an item seems missing.The status filter separates pending requests from review history.
Open a history row or use View to inspect its content. Modified-content indicators and saved notes help explain the earlier decision. History is for reference; a processed request cannot be approved again.
Troubleshooting
- Not authorized: ask the MSP to confirm the assigned reviewer or role. General portal access does not grant every approval.
- Expired or already processed: check the current status before trying again. Another reviewer may already have acted.
- Approved but not Sent: approval and execution are separate. Ask the MSP to check the automation execution before creating another request, which could duplicate the intended action.
- Approve is disabled: check the edited content for missing or invalid required fields and wait for any current action to finish.
