Approve or reject an approval workflow in a contract

How to validate or refuse a contract submitted to an approval workflow?

Updated today

Feature available to administrators and managers only.

An approval workflow can be configured:

  • Before sending to the counterparty

  • Before sending for signature


Find contracts to approve

Access contracts pending approval from:

  • The Homepage, in the To do section

  • The Negotiation tab, by filtering by status


Approve the contract

  • Click Approve

  • Add a note (optional)

  • Confirm

Once approved, the contract is automatically:

  • Sent to the counterparty, or

  • Sent for signature,

depending on the step defined in the contract type automations.


Reject the contract

Reject the contract if changes are required.

  • Click Reject

  • Add a note to explain your decision

The rejection note is visible:

  • In the tracker

  • In the activity feed

  • In the notification email sent to the requester

  • Confirm

When a contract is rejected:

  • The approval workflow is interrupted

  • The contract returns to the previous step

  • The requester is notified


Edit the contract during approval

Edit before sending to the counterparty

If the approval workflow takes place before sending to the counterparty and the contract has not yet been sent, click Revise to edit it before approving.

Reject before editing if the workflow is before signature

If an approval workflow is configured before signature and you need to edit the contract:

  • First, reject the contract

  • Make the necessary changes

  • Then relaunch a new approval workflow

A contract submitted for approval before signature cannot be edited until it has been rejected.
