## Key benefits

Some workflow actions, such as disabling an account or changing a vault, should wait until a manager agrees.

Turn on Approval Required for any workflow, pick one or more managers and set how many approvals it needs. Each trigger then waits in the Approvals queue and the action runs once enough managers approve.

## How it works

1. **1. Require approval** Turn it on for any workflow.
2. **2. Pick the approvers** Choose the managers and how many approvals are needed.
3. **3. Approve in the queue** The action runs once the count is reached.

## Getting started

Approvals are part of Hydden workflows for all customers. Open a workflow and turn on Approval Required.

**Need configuration detail?** Technical documentation is available to customers after sign-in.
