Set up approval rules

What does this do for me?

An approval rule decides automatically what happens after an application is submitted — approve, deny, or request revision. Rules run in priority order after submission and after each document upload.

1. Open Approval rules

Open Approval rules in the Customer Gate navigation.

2. Create a rule

In the Create rule card:
  1. Enter a Name.
  2. Set a Priority. Lower numbers run first.
  3. Enter When to apply this rule (JSON) for the conditions.
  4. Enter What this rule does (JSON) for the actions, such as a status, tags to add, entitlements to grant, or whether to create a Shopify B2B company.
  5. Select Create rule.

3. Manage existing rules

In the Rules table, each rule shows its Name, Priority, Active state, and actions:
  • Edit the Name or Priority and select Save.
  • Select Activate or Deactivate to toggle the rule.
  • Select Delete to remove it.
Deleting an approval rule can’t be undone. A rule created by a template also removes the template’s form and access rule; a form with submissions cannot be removed.

Next step

Approvals grant entitlements and tags that your access rules use. See Set up access rules.
