You can set automatic approval of requests on two levels:
Automatic approval of all employee requests
You can create an approval process with automatic approval of all requests:
Configuration → Approval flows → Basic approval flow→ Automatic approval → Save:
⚠️ Important!
If the approval process was previously set to manual approval by designated approvers, and you decide to switch it to automatic approval, please note that all pending requests currently in the queue - including requests to cancel already approved requests - will also be automatically approved once this change is applied.
This means that every request waiting for approval will be approved immediately after enabling automatic approval.
Automatic approval for alternative process only
You can also set up an approval process with automatic approval requests of a specific absence type, e.g. remote work:
Configuration → Approval flows → Basic approval flow → Add alternative flow → Remote work → Automatic approval → Save:
In the same way, you can create alternative approval processes for different absence types.
