Get your manager to sign the leave form → run over to HR to file it → forward it to Finance for payroll — a single traditional paper approval can eat up half a day. The approval engine moves all of these steps online: employees submit → requests auto-route to the right approvers → multi-level or co-sign flows configured flexibly → every approval and rejection is logged, with mobile approvals arriving in seconds.
Five pillars: templates / nodes / routing / notifications / audit trail
Common flows like leave, expense, procurement, overtime and seal use come pre-built and ready to use; you can also create custom flows
Assign an approver (person / position / role) to each node, with single-sign, co-sign and or-sign combined flexibly
Auto-route by amount / duration / department: within 3 days the manager approves, 3–7 days the director, more than 7 days the CEO
Pending approvals are pushed across WeChat Work / DingTalk / in-app channels, with one-click mobile approval — no need to log in to a PC
Approvers must give a reason when rejecting; the requester receives the original plus the reason to revise and resubmit, and can roll back to a specific node
Who approved each node, when, and with what comment is all recorded — fully traceable after the fact
Approval flow
"The manager is traveling and not in the office, so the leave request can't be approved" — that situation disappears entirely with online approvals. Approval notifications are pushed to the manager's phone via WeChat Work / DingTalk; they can tap "Approve" on the subway, at the airport or in a coffee shop, responding in seconds.
Routing hits this month (count)
Routing a 1,000-yuan reimbursement and a 100,000-yuan purchase through the same approval wastes the CEO's time; the sensible design is to send small amounts to managers and large ones to the CEO. Conditional routing automatically directs each request to the right path by amount / department / type, with transparent, configurable rules.
Employees submit leave requests; once the manager approves, the deduction syncs automatically to the attendance system — no manual HR entry required
Expense forms are auto-routed by amount tiers, invoice photos are attached straight from the camera, and Finance can review them in one click during reconciliation
The requesting department submits a purchase order, approved by the manager → procurement → final CEO sign-off, avoiding duplicate buying and waste
Stamping contracts requires approval from Legal + the GM, and usage records are logged to satisfy seal compliance audits
Approvals decide "whether it can be done," announcements say "do it this way," tasks track "how it's going," and reports report back "it's done"
A specialized scenario for reimbursement and travel, combining invoice management with the approval flow
Once approved, automatically turn a request into a task assigned to an owner for follow-up
After a large purchase is approved, announce it company-wide for transparent use of funds
