# Approvals stuck in group chats.

Requests get buried in chat, and nobody knows who still has to say yes. We build a simple approval flow with clear owners, reminders and a record of every decision.

Canonical: https://lingkari.com/approval-flow

No AI needed. Every decision on record.

## Lost somewhere in the chat

A request, a few replies, and then silence.

- Nobody knows who still has to approve.
- Requests get buried under new messages.
- There is no record when finance asks later.

## A flow with an owner at every step

A form and n8n, or a small custom app when the rules are many. No AI needed, because approvals follow your rules.

- 1. **One request form**: Purchase, leave, discount or payment requests start in one simple form.
- 2. **An owner for every step**: Each step has a role that approves or rejects.
- 3. **Reminders when it waits**: If a request waits too long, its owner gets a reminder.
- 4. **A record of every decision**: Who approved what, and when, is saved for finance and audits.

## Your rules, written down

The flow follows the rules you already have. We make them visible.

- Purchases under your limit: Team lead approves
- Purchases above your limit: Team lead, then finance
- Leave requests: Team lead approves
- Discounts for customers: Sales lead, then owner

## What changes for the team

Approvals stop being a chase.

- Nobody chases approvals in chat.
- Everyone sees where a request is.
- Finance has the record it needs.

## Approval flow questions

Something else on your mind? Ask it in the form below.

### Which approvals can it handle?

Any request that follows rules: purchases, leave, discounts, payments or document sign-off. We start with the one that gets stuck most.

### Can approvers say yes from their phone?

Yes. Approvers get a link or a message and can approve or reject from their phone.

### Is this an automation or a custom app?

It depends on the flow. A simple one runs on a form and n8n. One with many roles and rules is a small custom app. The free diagnosis tells you which.

### Why no AI?

Approvals follow your rules, and rules do not need AI. Keeping it simple keeps it cheap to run and easy to trust.
