Review requests for approvals
Starts when someone submits the form across Microsoft Teams, Slack and Notion, pauses on a Wait node until it is time to continue, then branches on the check before anything is written. Built for approvals, around a "Keep Valid Tasks" step, in 14 documented nodes.
Review requests with Microsoft Teams and Notion and log the results. An original, ready-to-import n8n workflow built around the 'Approval Workflow' pattern for software development & devops. It starts from a form and orchestrates 14 nodes across Microsoft Teams, Slack, Notion. Retry-on-fail is enabled on external calls. Import the JSON, add your credentials, and adapt the parameters. Your team sees the right data at the right time.
Key benefits
- ✓Keeps Microsoft Teams and Slack in step for approvals, without anyone re-typing a row
- ✓A failed Microsoft Teams or Slack call is retried rather than dropped, at any of the 14 nodes in this approvals build
- ✓Branches rejoin before Microsoft Teams, so a approvals run reports once rather than 14 times
- ✓The pause before Microsoft Teams is durable — a approvals run survives a restart
- ✓Fans the same result out to Notion in the same run, for approvals
Use cases
- →Teams keeping Microsoft Teams and Slack aligned by hand for approvals
- →Approvals sequences that run over days and must survive a restart before Microsoft Teams
- →Intake checked for completeness before it is stored in Microsoft Teams, for approvals
- →Approvals work where "Keep Valid Tasks" is still a manual step before Microsoft Teams

What's inside (14 nodes)
A look at the node types this workflow uses. No purchase required — full parameters and credentials are yours after you buy.
From download to running in 3 steps
- 1Import. In n8n, open Workflows → menu → “Import from File” and pick the downloaded JSON.
- 2Connect. Add your own credentials on the app nodes - n8n highlights exactly which ones need them.
- 3Activate. Run it once to test, then toggle Active. The automation is live.
What you'll learn
Core levelA compact production shape: validation and error handling without extra machinery.
- •Pausing a workflow on a Wait node until a human decides
- •Embedding a resume URL so approving is one click
- •Branching cleanly on approve versus decline
Every node carries its own documentation on the canvas, plus notes explaining why the architecture was built this way, a credential setup guide, troubleshooting, and three practice exercises. Sample data comes pinned to the trigger, so you can hit Execute and watch data flow before connecting a single account.
Common questions
What exactly do I get?
The complete, ready-to-import n8n workflow as a JSON file, delivered instantly after payment. Import it into your own n8n (cloud or self-hosted), add your credentials, and it runs.
How do I import it into n8n?
In n8n, open Workflows, click the three-dot menu, choose “Import from File”, and select the downloaded JSON. Then connect your own app credentials on the highlighted nodes.
Do I need anything else for it to work?
You need your own n8n instance and accounts/credentials for the apps this workflow connects to (Microsoft Teams, Slack, Notion). No coding is required.
What if it doesn't work for me?
If the file is faulty, won't import, or isn't as described, contact us within 7 days and we'll fix it or refund you - see our refund policy.
Can I modify or resell it?
You can freely adapt and use it in your own or your clients' projects. Reselling or redistributing the template file itself is not permitted.
