Pause a pending approval when a risk surfaces
When a project update calls for a procurement pause, have Notis hold the identified Coupa approval for review.
Trigger
Issue Updated Trigger
Triggered when an issue is updated. For example labels are changed, issue status is changed, etc.
Action
Hold Approval
Tool to place an approval on hold. Use when you need to pause approval workflow temporarily.
Why this helps
A risky approval continuing because the concern was recorded in project tracking but not reflected in Coupa.
- Makes an explicitly requested pause visible in Coupa.
- Reduces the chance that a risk note gets missed during busy work.
- Creates time to review before approval continues.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Linear and Coupa to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis to hold the identified Coupa approval when a Linear issue update explicitly records a procurement risk requiring a pause.
- 3Select the Linear Issue Updated trigger and set the run-report channel.
- 4Test with one clearly marked risk update tied to a pending approval.
Questions about this workflow
Will any issue update hold an approval?
The instruction should limit action to updates that explicitly call for pausing a specific pending approval.
Can the hold be reversed?
The workflow places the approval on hold; a person should review and decide what happens next.
