Creating Workflows

Approvals & Workflows6 min readUpdated 13 January 2024

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
