Taskade Genesis builds a structured review and approval chain around any task — routing it to the right reviewer, generating an AI summary of the work, and logging every decision automatically.
What Is Task Review and Approval Automation?
Task review and approval automation creates a defined pathway for completed tasks to move through one or more review stages before being marked done. It notifies reviewers, provides AI-generated context summaries, captures approvals or revision requests, and routes the task accordingly — all without manual orchestration.
Why Use Task Review and Approval Automation?
Informal review processes create ambiguity and delays. Taskade Genesis makes approvals systematic:
- Auto-triggered review routing: When a task reaches a designated status, the automation moves it to the review stage and notifies the assigned approver immediately.
- AI-written summaries: The embedded agent drafts a concise summary of what was done, linking the Relationship field to relevant project and client records for full context.
- Decision capture: Reviewers click Approve or Request Revision — the automation records their choice, timestamps it, and routes the task accordingly.
- Multi-stage chains: Build sequential or parallel approval flows — legal reviews design, then finance approves budget, then the client signs off — all in one system.
- Searchable decision log: A Table view preserves every approval, revision note, and timestamp for compliance or retrospectives.
Who Should Use Task Review and Approval Automation?
- Content teams routing drafts through editorial, legal, and brand review before publishing
- Finance departments requiring manager sign-off on expense or procurement tasks
- Product teams gating feature tasks behind design and technical review checkpoints
- Client-facing agencies getting client approval on deliverables before final delivery
- Compliance teams ensuring regulated tasks are reviewed and signed off by the right authority
How To Set Up Task Review and Approval Automation?
- Clone the Task Review and Approval app from /automate — stages, notifications, and the AI summary agent are pre-configured.
- Define your approval chain — who reviews first, and what happens on approval vs revision request.
- Set the trigger condition: which task status or Board column initiates the review flow.
- Customize the AI agent's summary template at /learn/agents/custom-agents to match your review criteria.
- Activate and run a test task through the full chain before rolling out team-wide.
