- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it for approval hold requests.
- 3Tell Notis to place the specified Coupa approval on hold only when the request clearly asks for a hold and includes an identifiable approval reference.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real pending approval where a hold is appropriate.
