How to Approve Operational Workflows Directly from Your Phone

Approving operational workflows from your phone means receiving the notification with the complete context of the request and approving or rejecting with one tap — without needing to access a computer, without logging into complex systems, without losing the thread of the process.

Why Mobile Approvals Are Essential Today

Managers are in meetings, on business trips, and at external appointments. Processes that require computer access to approve create unnecessary bottlenecks. With phone-based approval, the workflow continues while the manager is on the move.

What the Mobile Notification Must Include

For phone-based approval to truly work, the notification needs to include:

Name and context of the request (what is being approved)
Amount, requester, and justification
Linked documents or proofs
History of previously completed steps
Direct action buttons: approve, reject, or request revision

Without this information in the notification itself, the manager needs to enter the system to understand what they're approving — which cancels out the benefit of mobility.

Jestor has native WhatsApp integration — the channel managers already use. The notification arrives as a WhatsApp message with all request data, and the approver responds directly in the app.

FAQ

Does the approver need to download a specific app? For WhatsApp-based approval, no — they just need to receive the message. The Jestor app is optional for those who want full access.

Is it possible to add a comment when approving from the phone? Yes — both via WhatsApp and the app, the approver can include a justification.

What if the manager has no signal at the moment? The notification waits until the device reconnects — and the system keeps the SLA deadline active.
