Multiple approvals
You asked, we care, we listen and now we deliver! The time has come yet again for a new feature! A feature YOU asked for! If you are using the Approval Path, you have likely considered this feature at some point in your experience. Why can’t I just run multiple paths instead of only one?🤔 Well, that is no longer the case! What is Approval Path and why it matter?
Permission flexibility!?
We have a new and rather EXITING update!!! (on both Jira and Confluence) We’ve been working around the concept of approval path for quite some time, if you are a user of Approval Path, you probably work in an environment where permission hierarchies play a role, hence the need of approvals! So, what’s the update and how can it improve your experience!?! Permission schemes That’s right!!! You can now limit or extend the access of users to approval path capabilities, you can create more flexibility around the approval path by allowing more users to interact with the path or you may wish to limit access restrictions further to have a more focused group of users handle the approvals.
Approval path with external user participation
Usually, an approval process takes place within the organisation. However, in some cases, a decision from someone outside your Jira or Confluence is needed. There is no point in adding this user to your instance when there is an easier and faster solution provided by the Approval Path apps, which is the email step. All you need is a decisive person’s email address, on which will be sent a call for action message.
