What’s New? · Apr
Real-time Updates with Webhooks
Administrators can configure Webhooks to stay in the loop. Get instant notifications when an approval is created, a step decision is made, or an approval process is completed.
Never Miss a Deadline
With our new Approval Expiration settings, admins can set approval validity expiration.
Define precise expiration periods and automate next steps like relaunching approvals or triggering webhooks, the moment a validity period ends.
External Approvals Made Easy
Need a decision from someone outside your Confluence instance? You can now send Secure Signed Action Links for external approval. By linking an Atlassian account, external approvers can skip the extra steps and use the "Fast Path" to approve or reject directly via email.
Useful documentation: API
Enhanced Visibility & Search
We’ve made it easier to track the "Who, When, and Why" of every document:
Activity Logs: View specific activity entries directly from the approval list to track every change.
Visual Indicators: Quickly spot inactive or unlicensed users in your approval steps with new visual alerts to prevent bottlenecks.
Audit info on approval definition form.
Staying One Step Ahead 🚀
We’re not just improving the app for today; we’re preparing you for tomorrow.
Upcoming Changes Page: Global admins now have a dedicated space to preview what’s coming next, complete with embedded documentation.
Forge Migration: We’ve completed our migration of remaining modules to Atlassian Forge. This means better security, improved performance, and a more seamless integration with the Atlassian ecosystem.
What else changed?
Enhanced security by allowing multiple technical user account IDs for Confluence integrations.
New warning messages to prevent disruptions when modifying or deleting linked approval definitions.
Faster display of user names and avatars, and improved error handling for API rate limits.
