Approval Teams

Approval teams can be essential for any approval process, as they ensure that all the necessary stakeholders are gathered in one place for efficient review and approval.

Approval processes in many companies often require collaboration across various departments. For instance, an events proposal might need a budget sign-off from the finance department before proceeding with planning. This might entail creating approval processes via email involving different individuals in that department. However, this approach can be time-consuming due to lengthy email chains and potential delays.

With Approvals for monday.com, you can seamlessly apply approval teams created within monday.com directly within the approval setup process.

This guide will show you how to create teams in monday.com and apply them to our app.
