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
- Open your workflow on the canvas.
- Add a node where the pause should happen, and in the Search actions... box find Human Review.
- Place it in the chain, then configure which records it flags for review.
- 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
- 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.
- Review the flagged records in the table. You can edit a cell value inline to correct data before deciding.
- 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.
- 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.

- For work that needs reasoning rather than a yes/no gate, hand steps to the Agent with Ask Agent.
