The approver receives a notification and can approve or reject the record directly from their Creator interface or email. Subsequent workflow steps only execute after the approval decision is made, creating a gate in the process.<\/p>\n<h2>Configuring an Approval Task<\/h2>\n<p>Builders specify the approver, which can be a fixed user, a user looked up from a field on the record, or a role-based group. They configure the approval notification message and define what happens on approval versus rejection, such as updating a status field to Approved or sending the submitter a rejection notice with a reason field.<\/p>\n<h2>Multi-Level Approvals<\/h2>\n<p>Sequential multi-level approvals are achieved by chaining Approval Tasks in a workflow. The first task routes to a line manager, and once approved, a second Approval Task routes to a department head. If any level rejects, the chain stops and the rejection path executes. This pattern is common in leave management, purchase requisition, and expense approval applications built on Creator.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An Approval Task in Zoho Creator is a workflow action that routes a submitted record to a designated approver and holds processing until a decision is made.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","meta":{"seo_title":"Approval Task | Zoho Glossary | Aaxonix","seo_description":"An Approval Task in Zoho Creator is a workflow action that routes a submitted record to a designated approver and holds processing until a decision is made","seo_keyword":"Zoho Creator approval task","seo_faqs":"","term_type":"","glossary_related":"","glossary_links":""},"glossary_category":[1258],"class_list":["post-5140","glossary","type-glossary","status-publish","hentry","glossary_category-zoho-creator"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/glossary\/5140","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/glossary"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/glossary"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5140"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"glossary_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/glossary_category?post=5140"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
