The problem it solves

Approvals that live in email or spreadsheets get buried and slow everything down. Your team has to leave Slack, find the right form, and come back just to say yes or no.

Who it fits

A team that needs quick approvals without leaving Slack.

How it works

  1. A team member submits a request through a Slack form
  2. The request is sent to the automation for processing
  3. An approver sees Approve or Reject buttons in Slack
  4. The decision is logged automatically
  5. The submitter gets a confirmation message
What you get

Requests approved or rejected with one click in Slack

Your team submits requests and approvers can approve or reject them with a single click in Slack.

What you get

A logged approval decision and a confirmation message back in Slack.

What you need

A Slack account with a bot configured for your workspace.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.
