Custom workflows let you define exactly how approvals should flow.
Creating a Workflow
- Go to Settings > Workflows
- Click Create Workflow
- Name your workflow
- Add stages and reviewers
- Click Save
Adding Stages
Each stage represents a review step:
- Click Add Stage
- Name the stage (e.g., "Design Review")
- Add reviewers to the stage
- Set approval requirements
- Repeat for additional stages
Stage Types
Sequential
Reviewers approve one after another.
- Reviewer 1 must approve before Reviewer 2 sees it
- Good for hierarchical approval chains
Parallel
All reviewers approve simultaneously.
- Everyone is notified at once
- Asset progresses when all approve
Quorum
Requires a minimum number of approvals.
- Set "2 of 3 must approve"
- Faster than requiring everyone
Setting Deadlines
Keep things moving:
- Set hours/days for each stage
- Automatic reminders before deadline
- Optional escalation when overdue
Conditional Logic
Advanced workflows can branch:
- If budget > £10k, add Finance stage
- If external, add Legal review
- Based on asset type or metadata
Templates
Save time with templates:
- Use built-in templates as starting points
- Save your workflows as templates
- Share templates across workspaces
