Approvals
A human yes, before the send.
Some numbers deserve a last look. Approvals hold a run in a pending state until a reviewer says go. One click approves. One click rejects. The AI does the rest.

Notifier
Approvals are a promise to the people who receive a report. No number, no paragraph, no chart reaches them before a person you named says so. Every decision is traceable, every outcome is yours to own.
Questions
The short ones.
Can an approver work from their phone?+
Yes. The approval email renders a full preview and two links. Tap to approve. Tap to reject.
What if no one approves in time?+
You choose the timeout policy. Auto send, hold forever, or escalate to a backup approver.
Can I set up approval chains?+
Yes. Sequential or parallel. Donum waits for all approvers before the run resumes.
Does approval block data refresh?+
No. Data refresh happens before approval. The reviewer sees the final numbers.
