Hold a Coupa approval after a priority change
Prevent low-priority purchasing work from consuming approval attention too early.
Trigger
Task Priority Updated
Triggers when a task's priority changes. `changes[]` carries `PriorityChange` entries only.
Action
Hold Approval
Tool to place an approval on hold. Use when you need to pause approval workflow temporarily.
Why this helps
A procurement item loses urgency in ClickUp but continues taking up space in Coupa's active approval queue.
- Reduce noise in active approval queues
- Reflect project priorities in finance workflows
- Create a clear audit trail for the pause
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect ClickUp and Coupa once in Notis.
- 2Create an automation for pausing deprioritized purchasing approvals.
- 3Describe the priority threshold, matching logic, and the reason to include in the run report.
- 4Pick the ClickUp Task Priority Updated trigger and choose a report channel.
- 5Test with one task whose priority was lowered.
Questions about this workflow
Does it hold every priority change?
You can instruct Notis to act only when the new priority meets your defined deprioritization condition.
Can it resume the approval later?
This workflow only uses Hold Approval. A separate process would be needed to resume it.
