# How to Create a Visual Approval Workflow Without Code

Creating a visual approval workflow without code means configuring, in a graphical interface, who approves what, in what sequence, and based on which criteria — without writing any programming. The result is a traceable, automated approval process that can be adjusted by the operations team itself.

## Why Manual Approvals Stall Operations

Approvals via email, messaging apps, or meetings are the biggest operational bottlenecks for growing companies. The approver didn't see the message, is in a meeting, or simply doesn't know they need to act. The requester doesn't know the status of their request. The manager has no visibility into what's backlogged.

A visual approval workflow solves this: the process is visible, the approver is automatically notified, and the history is recorded.

## What a Visual Approval Workflow Needs

- Approval stage clearly defined in the pipeline
- Automatic notification to the approver when the card reaches the stage
- Approve or reject action directly in the interface, with a comment field
- Automatic escalation when the approval deadline expires
- Complete history of who approved, when, and with what comment

## Step-by-Step Guide to Creating a Visual Approval Workflow Without Code

- **Create a pipeline with an approval stage:** the stage represents the moment when the card is awaiting a decision
- **Define the approver for the stage:** can be a fixed user or dynamic based on a field (department, value, cost center)
- **Configure the automatic notification:** when entering the stage, the approver is immediately notified
- **Add approval fields:** approve/reject button with a required justification field
- **Configure escalation by deadline:** if the approver doesn't act within X hours, the system notifies the next level

## Why Jestor Stands Out

Jestor offers native visual approval workflows with hierarchy, value-based thresholds, and automatic escalation — configured without code in minutes.

- Multi-level approval with sequential and parallel configurations available visually
- Dynamic thresholds: approver is automatically defined by the card's value or cost center
- Direct integration with Omie and Conta Azul: approval in Jestor automatically posts to the ERP
- Complete, auditable approval history per record
