See the Coupa approval backlog before it becomes a scramble
A recurring snapshot can make pending approvals easier to review. Notis can retrieve the approval records and summarize the ones that match the follow-up criteria you set.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
List Approvals
Tool to list approvals with optional pagination and filters. Use when you need to retrieve multiple approval records.
Why this helps
Pending approvals hide in another system until someone remembers to check them, which creates avoidable follow-up work.
- See pending approvals in a recurring summary
- Focus attention using your own review criteria
- Reduce last-minute approval chasing
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Coupa once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation for the approval backlog snapshot.
- 3Tell Notis which approval records to retrieve and what makes an item worth highlighting.
- 4Pick a recurring schedule trigger.
- 5Choose where run reports go, then test with one real approval list.
Questions about this workflow
Will the automation approve anything?
No. It retrieves and summarizes approval records. Approval decisions remain separate.
Can I focus on overdue approvals?
Yes, if the available Coupa records include the timing information and you specify your overdue criteria.
