An approval request for one clear yes or no

Some decisions just need the right person to say yes, in a way you can point to later. This page sets out one question with the exact details, and offers two buttons: approve or decline, with an optional note. The first answer closes it, and it can come back to you or to an automated agent waiting on a human's decision.

When to use it

• The owner of a business has to sign off an extra part before a technician carries on.
• A manager needs to approve a purchase over a set limit.
• An AI agent has drafted something and a person should check it before it goes out.
• A client has to approve final copy or artwork as written.

What a good one includes

• A question in plain words, with the action implied by a yes.
• One or two lines on why it's needed.
• The facts that matter as label and value pairs: cost, part, job.
• The exact text, if wording is what's being approved, shown as written.
• Button labels that fit, like 'Send it' and 'Hold off'.

Make one by saying what you need

Text it, type it or say it, the way you'd tell a colleague:

Ask Rob, the owner of Summerfield Motors, to approve a $340 alternator on the blue van, and let him add a note.

Questions

Can more than one person approve?

Not on one page. It's built for one decision by one person. For several approvers, send each their own page.

When should I use this instead of a change order?

A change order is for a customer agreeing to extra paid work on a job, with their name and the pricing. This suits a quick internal or one-line decision.
