Approvals

Outcome

You will be able to review a Threadory proposal and deliberately approve, edit, or reject an action in an external system.

Before you begin

Every project role can view the project. Administrators and owners can resolve approvals.

Steps

1. Open Approvals.
2. Select a proposal and read its description.
3. Review the source context: the meeting, decision, or other basis for the proposal.
4. Review related work to avoid creating a duplicate ticket.
5. Choose an action:
6. Approve — perform the proposed action;
7. Edit payload, then Edit & approve — change allowed fields and perform the updated action;
8. Reject — do not perform the action.
9. After resolving the proposal, check the external result or its entry in Activity.

An approval authorizes one specific action with its current data. It does not grant permanent permission for later actions.

Verify the result

The pending proposal has a new status, and the completed action is visible in the external system and its related Threadory context.

Common problems

Symptom	Likely cause	What to do
The proposal is no longer available	Another administrator resolved it, or it expired	Refresh the list and check Activity
Decision buttons are missing	Your role does not have permission	Contact an administrator or owner
The source cannot be opened	Source data was deleted or its connection is unavailable	Do not approve an action without reviewing its context
No result appears after approval	The external system rejected the write	Check the run in Activity and the connection health

Next step

Review the result in Reports and Graph Health.
