Help Center / Approvals & expense reports
Choose how you hear about approvals
Get an email or in-app notice when something waits on you, and when your own requests are decided.
Each person picks how they hear about approvals. Go to Settings > Notifications and find Approvals.
What you can be told about
Each row is one kind of event. Tick Email or In app for each:
| Row | When it's sent |
|---|---|
| Something is waiting for my approval | A charge or request reaches your step |
| A reminder about an approval I still owe | Something has waited on you a while |
| A request I sent was approved | Your own request was approved |
| A request I sent was rejected | Your own request was rejected |
Changes save as you go.
Out of the box
Unless you or your company change them, every row is on In app, and only A request I sent was rejected also comes by email. If you approve spend and want an email whenever something needs you, tick Email on the first row.
A row marked Default follows your company's setting. Change a box to make it yours, or click Reset to follow the company again.
Turn approval requests off
New approval requests and reminders stops notices about requests waiting for you and reminders about them, on every channel. Decisions on your own requests still follow the table.
Where to approve
Everything that's waiting on you is on the Approvals page and in the mobile app's Approvals tab. See Review and approve.
