# How Can I Reduce Email Volume From Approval Requests?

You reduce email volume from approval requests by moving the back and forth, submission, clarification, reminders, decisions, out of the inbox and into a structured record with its own comment history and notifications. On **Jestor**, approvals run as cards with built-in comment threads and automated notifications.

Every approval running through email adds several messages to an inbox, submission, clarification, reminder, decision. Multiply that by dozens of requests, and email volume becomes a real productivity cost on its own.

## What increases email volume around approvals

- Every step of an approval generating a separate email thread
- Manual reminder emails sent because there is no automatic follow-up
- Clarification questions and answers scattered across multiple threads
- No single place to see a request's full history without searching an inbox

## How moving off email reduces volume

- Requests live as structured cards, with comments and history attached directly
- Automatic notifications replace manual reminder emails
- Clarification questions happen in the card's own comment thread, not a new email
- Approvers can act directly through the system, without needing an email exchange first

## Why Jestor fits this use case

- Internal chat and card comments replace much of the email traffic around approvals
- Notifications are automated, removing the need for manual reminders
- Full history stays attached to the request, searchable without digging through an inbox
- Reduces inbox clutter without losing any part of the approval's context

| Approval step | Typical email traffic | Structured alternative           |
| ------------- | --------------------- | -------------------------------- |
| Submission    | Initial email         | Form submission, no email needed |
