Setting Up Internal Approval

Feature only available via an Engage license

To enable Internal Approvals, navigate to the template settings and then to the Internal Approval tab.
Define a criteria that will trigger the internal approval, and at least one internal approver user or group.

Defining Criteria:

This can be done by typing in the criteria manually or by building a condition via the UI:

*Click on the 'Add' button to insert the first condition*

*Click on the highlighted button to define the data field for the condition*

*Select a data source, in this example, we’re working with an Opportunity*

*Use the dropdown to pick an operator, and define the value to check against in the right-most field*

The result should look similar to the above, depending on what object and field you choose to work with. You can also configure multiple conditions!
Remember to also define the info that gets displayed to users if the criteria are met.

If all the documents need to go through internal approval, the following can be used:

Navigate to the **Main Flow** from **Home**

Click '**Edit step**' on the **Start flow** step

Create the ‘**alwaysRequireInternalApproval**' boolean variable and set it to true

Navigate to **Settings** and then to the **Internal Approval** tab
Configure the Criteria with the '**alwaysRequireInternalApproval**' variable.

This will ensure the criteria is always met, hence all the documents will require internal approval!

Defining Groups:

Salesforce public groups can be invited to internally approve the document, you can add a group as such:

*Click on the highlighted button to open the search menu.*

The result will appear as such:

You can also define the group via an ID.

Defining Users:

Individual users can also be defined as internal approvers. Users can be defined automatically or manually via the 'User ID' setting:

Manual user ID:

Dynamic user ID from a predefined query:

Dynamic selection of an approver or approvers can become as intricate as your business needs are! Dynamo has full capabilities in programmatically querying, filtering, and categorizing records to be used for dynamic assignment. The following is a simple query with one criteria:
