Questions about this workflow
What if 'approved' is mentioned in a comment not meant as approval?
You can refine your prompt to be more specific, like 'only if the comment is from the person's line manager' or 'only if the comment says approved as a standalone statement.'
Can I add approval notes or a reason?
Yes. Your prompt can say, for example, 'Extract the reason or notes from the comment and add them to the approval in Breathe HR.'
Who appears as the approver in Breathe HR?
The person who comments 'approved' in Linear will be recorded as the approver in Breathe HR.
