Enabling Email Approvals

You can set up Sage People to receive and automatically apply emailed responses to approval requests sent out as part of a Workflow or Approval Process.

  • Responses must be sent from the recipients email address, as held on Sage People. Responses from other addresses are blocked for security reasons.
  • Responses must include a one word response in the first line of the email - not in the subject field:

    • APPROVE, YES, or TRUE to approve the request.
    • REJECT, NO, or FALSE to reject the request.
  • Responses can include comments in the second line. Comments are extracted from the email and added to the relevant Sage People object record.

To enable emailed approval responses:

  1. Go to Setup and in Quick Find enter Process Automation Settings.

    Sage People displays the Process Automation Settings page:
