Approvals

Review generated findings and action requests, filter by domain or cadence, and record or dispatch a supported approval decision.

Last reviewed July 13, 2026

Approvals is the human-review queue for generated findings and recommendations. Open Approvals from the sidebar to inspect evidence before an action is accepted or dismissed.

What appears in Approvals

Items can include KPI summaries, trends, anomalies, recommendations, audience changes, pipeline health, and model performance. Each item records a cadence and source domain such as calculated properties, models, audiences, pipelines, cross-source analysis, or activation.

Use the filters to separate open, approved, dismissed, and superseded items or to focus on one domain or cadence.

Review an item

  1. Open the item and confirm the active workspace.
  2. Read the recommendation and supporting snapshot.
  3. Check the related entity, time range, metric definition, and proposed payload.
  4. Compare material claims with the source data.
  5. Approve only if the effect and rollback path are clear; otherwise dismiss it or investigate further.

What approval does

Every decision changes the item’s status from open to approved or dismissed and records who decided it. The update is guarded so the same open item cannot be decided twice concurrently.

Some recommendation types have a wired side effect:

  • A calculated-property recommendation can apply the reviewed rule.
  • An Agent task action can signal the waiting workflow with the approved or dismissed payload.

Other item types record the review decision without automatically changing an external system. Do not assume every Approve button adjusts a budget, triggers a sync, or creates an Automation.

Configure generation

The settings panel can enable daily, weekly, monthly, and anomaly-driven generation and select the domains to include. You can also generate an on-demand recommendation for a selected domain.

Enable only the domains your team is prepared to review. A high-volume queue with no owner weakens the control.
