Approval workflows

monday.com approval workflows that keep decisions moving.

Livitek helps teams design approval processes for requests, budgets, documents, project changes, content, hiring, vendors, and leadership sign-off so work does not disappear into email or meetings.

Why approvals break

Approval pain usually starts when no one can see who owns the next decision.

Approvals often live across email, chats, shared files, meetings, and verbal follow-up. That makes it hard to know what is waiting, who needs to decide, what changed, and when to escalate.

  • Requests are submitted without the right details.
  • Approvers are unclear or change by department, amount, or request type.
  • Teams cannot see what is pending, approved, rejected, or blocked.
  • Follow-up depends on one person remembering to chase the decision.
  • Leadership does not have a clean view of approval bottlenecks.

How we design approvals

Clear status, clear owner, clear next step.

We help define what gets submitted, who reviews it, what information is required, what happens if it is approved or rejected, and what should be visible on dashboards.

  • Request forms with required context.
  • Approval statuses and decision reasons.
  • Owner and approver assignment rules.
  • Escalation for overdue or blocked approvals.
  • Dashboards for pending, approved, rejected, and aging requests.
  • AI-ready summaries or draft recommendations where human review remains required.

Automation helps

monday.com can support routing, reminders, owner changes, status updates, and escalation when the process is designed clearly.

People still decide

For sensitive approvals, AI and automation can prepare context, but people should approve final decisions.
