Human-in-the-loop

Pause a workflow for a human to approve or reject before it continues.

Automation should not remove people from decisions that need judgment. The Human Review action puts a person in the loop: it pauses a run and waits for someone to approve or reject the flagged records before the workflow continues.

Add a review step

  1. Open your workflow on the canvas.
  2. Add a node where the pause should happen, and in the Search actions... box find Human Review.
  3. Place it in the chain, then configure which records it flags for review.
  4. Click Save Workflow, then activate the workflow so it can run.

When a run reaches this step, it stops and hands the flagged records to a reviewer. See Build a workflow for the full build-and-activate flow.

Find work waiting for review

Paused runs surface in two places:

  • In the Executions tab, the run shows the awaiting review status.
  • In the Interventions tab, each pending review appears as a task with columns for Task, Status, and Created. Use the status filter (All, Pending, Resolved) to focus on what still needs a decision.

Approve or reject

  1. In the Interventions tab, open a task with its edit button to launch the review dialog. Its summary reads as a count of flagged, resolved, and pending records.
  2. Review the flagged records in the table. You can edit a cell value inline to correct data before deciding.
  3. Set a decision. For a single record, use its status control to mark it Approved or Rejected. To decide several at once, select the rows and use Approve Selected or Reject Selected.
  4. Click Apply to submit your decisions. The Resolved By column then records who resolved each record.

A record moves from Pending to Approved or Rejected once you apply a decision. Only after the flagged records are resolved does the paused run leave awaiting review and continue.

Statuses you will see

Records and review tasks carry a Status: Pending while they wait, then Approved or Rejected after a decision, and Resolved once the task is complete.

Where to go next

  • Follow a run through its pause in Executions.
  • Revisit the building blocks in Build a workflow.
  • For work that needs reasoning rather than a yes/no gate, hand steps to the Agent with Ask Agent.
