Approving or rejecting a workflow run - Amazon CodeCatalyst

Approving or rejecting a workflow run

Workflow runs that include the Approval gate will need to be approved or rejected. Users can provide their approval or rejection starting from:

  • the CodeCatalyst console

  • a link provided by a team member

  • an automated Slack notification

After a user provides their approval or rejection, this decision cannot be undone.

Note

Only certain users can approve or reject a workflow run. For more information, see Who can provide an approval?.

Before you begin

Make sure you have added an Approval gate to your workflow. For more information, see Adding an 'Approval' gate.
