Advanced Approval Workflows

Enhanced approval workflows with multi-stage approvals, escalation policies, and integration with external systems.

What are Advanced Approval Workflows?

While FaraCore provides basic approval functionality, Faramesh Horizon and Nexus offer advanced approval workflows that go beyond simple approve/deny. These features enable complex governance scenarios for enterprise environments.

Key Features

• Multi-Stage Approvals - Require approvals from multiple stakeholders in sequence or parallel
• Escalation Policies - Automatically escalate approvals when not responded to within time limits
• Approval Delegation - Allow team members to delegate approval authority
• Conditional Approvals - Different approval paths based on action context or risk level
• Integration with Slack/Email/MS Teams - Rich notifications with interactive approval buttons
• Approval History - Complete audit trail of who approved what and when

Use Cases

High-Risk Actions

For high-risk actions like production deployments or financial transactions, require approvals from both a technical lead and a manager before execution.

Compliance Requirements

Meet regulatory requirements by ensuring critical actions are reviewed by authorized personnel with proper documentation.

Team Collaboration

Enable team-based governance where actions require consensus from multiple team members before proceeding.

Benefits

• Enhanced security through multi-layer approval processes
• Compliance with regulatory requirements
• Better visibility into who approved what actions
• Reduced risk of unauthorized actions
• Integration with existing communication tools

Note: This feature is not available in the open-source FaraCore. Basic approval functionality is available in FaraCore, but advanced workflows require Faramesh Horizon or Nexus.
