What’s New

We've introduced email notifications for custom workflow approvals and sharing. Workflow Builders and admins will receive timely updates as workflows are submitted, reviewed, approved, rejected, and shared.

Why It Matters

By sending timely updates directly to users’ inboxes, this makes it easier for admins to identify pending approvals and for builders to track the status of their workflows. This will help reduce delays, increase visibility, and improve overall workflow adoption.

How to Use

For Admins:

You must first opt-in to email notifications for your workspace.

  1. Go to Settings > Notifications
  2. Toggle on the Workflow notifications
image of going to settings then notifications. Under workflow notifications, toggle on or off the notifications.

Once enabled, admins will receive an email notification when:

  • Approval requests for workspace workflows are submitted

For Workflow Builders

If enabled by your workspace admin, you'll receive an email notification when:

  • Your workflow is approved and ready to share
  • Your workflow is rejected

Notes and Limitations

  • Emails do not contain any sensitive information, such as workflow names.
  • Any user will receive notifications when a new custom workflow is shared with them, improving discoverability.

FAQs

Q: What information is included in email notifications?

Notification emails are sent through Harvey’s email infrastructure. They do not include workflow names, query details, or other customer content. The only user-specific information included is the recipient’s email address.

Q: What types of workflow events will trigger notifications?

  • When Workflow approval notifications is enabled, only admins will receive notifications that a custom workflow is pending approval.
  • When Workflow approval status is enabled, only workflow builders who submitted the workflow will receive notifications of the approval or rejection.
