Step 2: Submit or Review Workflows

  • Workflow Builders submit workflows for approval through Workflow Builder
  • Admins review submitted workflows in Harvey

Once a workflow enters the approval process, notifications are triggered automatically.

Step 3: Receive and Act on Notifications

  • Admins receive emails when a new workflow requires approval
  • Workflow Builders receive emails when:
    • A workflow is approved and ready to share
    • A workflow is rejected

Use these notifications to take immediate action, such as reviewing pending workflows or sharing approved ones.

Tips for Success

  • Enable notifications early: Ensure admins and builders receive timely updates from the start.
  • Use notifications to reduce approval delays: Prompt alerts help admins review workflows faster and keep processes moving.
  • Act on approvals quickly: Share approved workflows immediately to improve adoption across your organization.
  • Monitor rejected workflows closely: Use rejection notifications to quickly iterate and resubmit improved workflows.
