Approval Inbox Free

Approvals that follow your chain, with an audit trail you can trust

Set up who approves what, in order. Requests go to the first approver, then the next - each one approves, rejects or asks for changes with a comment, and everything is recorded.

  • Free with your A2Z account
  • No ads inside the portal
  • Phone and desktop

Everything you need, nothing you do not

Ordered approval chains

A workflow lists who approves, in order. Each approver is emailed when it is their turn.

Approve, reject or ask for changes

Every decision carries a comment. Asking for changes sends it back to the person who asked - and the chain starts again from the first approver.

A full audit trail

Who submitted, who decided, on whose behalf, when and why - for every revision of every request.

Amounts and attachments

Add an amount with its currency, a description and supporting files such as quotes or receipts (PDF, images, Office files).

Expenses, sent for approval

Send an expense from the Expenses app straight into your approval chain and see its status next to it.

Rules and delegation (Pro)

Add an approver above an amount, and let an approver hand their decisions to a colleague while they are away.

Questions

Is there a limit?

The free plan includes 1 workflow and 25 new requests a month. Decisions, comments and export are never limited.

Can someone approve their own request?

No. If the person asking is in the chain, their step is skipped and recorded as skipped - someone else always decides.

What happens if an approver clicks twice?

Nothing extra. A decision is recorded once, and a decision on a request that has moved on is refused.

Who can approve?

Members of your workspace that you invite - including guests, who only ever see the requests sent to them.

Who can see my data?

You and the people you invite to your workspace, with the role you give them - guests see only what is explicitly shared with them. Every request is checked on the server. Your personal notes, tasks and contacts are never shared. Nothing is sold or used for ads - the portal has no ads at all.

Can I export my requests?

Yes, on every plan, as a CSV that opens safely in Excel or Google Sheets. Export and delete are never behind a paid plan.
