Controlling Approval Notifications for Job Requisitions Without Disabling Workflow
We’re currently using multiple approval rules for job requisitions, and our intention is not to disable or bypass the approval workflow, but rather to control the notification sent to approvers in specific scenarios.
By default, approvers receive the notification:
“Action Required: Job Requisition {Title} - {Number} Requires Approval.”
However, we have some exception cases where:
- Approval has already been explicitly provided by executives via email (outside the system)
- Based on this confirmation, we reassign the requisition to ourselves
- We then complete the approval action in the system on their behalf
The challenge is that the system still triggers approval notifications to the original approvers, even though the approval decision has already been made offline and no further action is required from them.
