Pause an approval when supplier contact needs review
When your stated review rule is met, Notis can check a supplier contact with Abstract and put the specified Coupa approval on hold for a person to review.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Hold Approval
Why this helps
A questionable supplier contact can be missed when review decisions and contact verification live in separate workflows.
- Route a flagged approval into human review.
- Keep contact checks in the approval decision flow.
- Avoid losing a flagged item in a separate inbox.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Abstract and Coupa once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name and prompt.
- 3Describe the contact check and the exact condition for holding the supplied Coupa approval ID.
- 4Choose a webhook trigger and where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real approval and confirm the hold rule behaves as intended.
Questions about this workflow
Will every contact check put an approval on hold?
Set the specific condition in your instruction. The workflow should hold only the approval covered by your stated rule.
What does the webhook need to provide?
Provide the Coupa approval ID, the supplier email or phone number to check, and any context needed to apply your hold rule.
