Taskade Genesis builds a complete approval-workflow app from a single prompt — tasks route to the right approver, reminders fire if they go quiet, and outcomes trigger the next step automatically.
What Is Task Approval Automation?
Task approval automation creates a structured review chain: a task is submitted, routed to an approver, reviewed, and either approved (triggering the next step) or rejected (sending feedback back to the submitter) — all without email threads.
Why Use Task Approval Automation?
Manual approval processes stall in inboxes and lose accountability.
- Defined approval chain: Route tasks to one or multiple approvers in sequence or parallel.
- Automatic escalation: If an approver doesn't respond within a set window, the task escalates.
- Outcome branching: Approval triggers the next workflow step; rejection sends feedback with context.
- Relational records: The Relationship field links each approval task back to its parent project or client record.
- Full audit log: Every approval decision is timestamped and stored in the task database.
Who Should Use Task Approval Automation?
- Finance teams routing expense reports through manager and CFO sign-off automatically.
- Marketing teams getting legal or brand approval on copy before publish.
- Construction firms running permit and change-order approvals without paper.
- HR departments automating job-offer approval chains from hiring manager to executive.
- Agency owners building client-facing approval portals with custom domains (Business+).
How To Set Up Task Approval Automation?
- Go to Automate and clone the Approval Chain template.
- Prompt Taskade Genesis — "route submitted tasks to my manager for approval, then to the CFO if over $500."
- The app builds the approval database, routing rules, and escalation timers in one shot.
- Enable client logins so external approvers can review tasks on a branded portal (Business+).
- Connect email or Slack so every approval request and decision lands where approvers already work.
