Approval guide
Human-in-the-Loop AI Workflow Guide
Use this guide when AI should help prepare work, but people still need control over changes to finance, CRM, calendar, communication, or website systems.
What should require review
Not every AI workflow needs approval. Read-only summaries and dashboards can usually run automatically. Work that changes a system of record, sends a message, updates a customer record, or publishes content should be reviewed first.
- CRM updates, lead changes, and sales follow-up.
- Invoices, estimates, payment notes, or finance follow-up.
- Calendar changes, event updates, and task creation.
- Website, campaign, email, or communication drafts.
How to design an approval path
A good approval path should show what will change, why the change was proposed, what sources informed it, and who approved or rejected it. The goal is confidence, not a slow committee for every small action.
- Show the proposed change before it runs.
- Make the source context visible enough to verify.
- Separate approve, reject, and edit decisions.
- Keep action history for later review.
Match review to risk
Teams can move faster by reviewing the right things. A weekly read-only report should not need the same process as a finance update or customer-facing email.
- Low risk: summaries, dashboards, team-only drafts, and reminders.
- Medium risk: tasks, status updates, team follow-up, and CRM notes.
- High risk: payments, public content, customer messages, and system-of-record changes.
- Always define who owns each approval decision.
Approval makes AI easier to trust
A review step can make AI more useful because teams are willing to connect real workflows when they know important changes do not run silently. The point is not to slow everyone down; it is to make AI safe enough to use for operational work.
- People can inspect proposed work before execution.
- Admins can keep sensitive systems protected.
- Teams can start with review and automate more as trust grows.
- Action history gives operations teams a trail to inspect later.
