Approval step
The point in an automation where a named person reviews the work and says yes before it takes effect.

What “Approval step” means
An approval step keeps a person answerable for what an account says. It takes two forms. A rule is approved once, before it is live, and again when its contents change. A draft is approved every time. An approval step needs an owner and a routine, or it turns into a pile of unread drafts.
Linkme summarizes the person's role with Link AI as 'You just approve', and shows team members' drafts carrying a 'Needs review' mark ahead of posting. Roles and permission levels are not something we can state, so ask who can approve what. The approval step in each automation sets out the step for all five playbooks.
