A minimal request → review → approved/rejected workflow. The simplest possible approval pattern, ready to publish as-is.

Approval Request Form: what people fill in.

ApprovalBasics

Scenario

The simplest approval pattern, and the best place to learn how stepbase works: someone submits a request, one approver approves or rejects it, and the flow ends on a clear outcome.

How it works

  1. Submit Request. Any workspace member starts the flow and fills in a two-field form: what they're asking for and why
  2. Review: a workspace admin reads the request and picks Approve or Reject (rejection asks for confirmation first)
  3. Approved / Rejected: the flow ends on one of two status blocks, so every instance closes with a recorded outcome
  4. Nothing needs configuring before you publish it. When you know who really owns the decision, swap the Review stage's admin assignment for a specific team or person.

    Who uses this

    • Quick one-off approvals
    • Starting point for any approval workflow you plan to expand later

    Why stepbase

    Publish it as-is and start collecting requests, then grow it: add a second approver, branch on an amount with a condition block, or notify the requester on the outcome.

Start from the form, the stages, and the routing behind it.
