Before you startReview working hours, first-nudge timing and escalation timing.

  1. Open Settings, then Messages, then Approvals. Turn on "Show who covers", then "Nudge slow approvers".
  2. Choose Edit to set "First nudge after" and "Escalate after", in working days. It saves as you change it.
  3. Nudges arrive in the approver's working hours.
  4. Nudges stop as soon as the approver answers.

What you should see

Eligible pending approvals are nudged; completed decisions stop further messages.

If something is not right

An approver received nothing. Check the approval is pending, its age in working days, working hours and any current cover.
