APPROVAL WORKFLOWS

Human review where AI messages need control.

Use Verbum to route AI-generated drafts through the right reviewers, approval rules and escalation paths before messages are sent.

APPROVAL FLOW

From incoming message to recorded decision.

A governed workflow makes the decision path visible: AI can draft, policies decide whether review is required, and Verbum Automate can send only inside configured rules and guardrails.

  1. Customer message arrives

    A message arrives from a connected customer, workplace or internal channel.

  2. AI-prepared draft

    Verbum prepares a draft using conversation context, channel details and configured workflow rules.

  3. Policy and risk check

    The message is evaluated against approval rules, channel policies and Verbum Automate guardrails.

  4. Human review or Verbum Automate

    Verbum Assist routes a draft to a reviewer when the workflow requires review. Verbum Automate can act only when the message matches approved rules and guardrails.

  5. Traceable history

    Reviewer, timestamp, channel, routing context and final decision details can be preserved where enabled by workflow configuration.

Verbum Sense

Analyzes conversation context, intent, risk and opportunities without taking customer-facing action.

Verbum Assist mode

AI drafts are routed for human review before sending when the workflow, risk level or policy requires it.

Verbum Automate mode

Approved low-risk workflows can send automatically only inside configured rules, channels and guardrails.

Require approval for high-risk messages

High-risk messages, sensitive claims, refunds, legal language or account-specific exceptions route to human review.

Allow Verbum Automate for low-risk FAQs

Low-risk FAQs can be handled automatically only when the channel, wording and policy rule are approved.

Route VIP or sensitive conversations to human review

VIP, enterprise, customer-sensitive or procurement conversations can be routed to named reviewers.

Record decision context

Approvals, rejections, edits and Verbum Automate rule executions can be recorded with decision context where enabled.

OPERATIONAL CONTROL

Why approval workflows matter

Approval is the operating layer between AI drafting and message delivery. It helps teams move faster while keeping sensitive messages, automation exceptions and reviewer decisions accountable.

Verbum Assist review

AI drafts wait for human approval when a message needs judgment, tone review, account context or policy confirmation before send.

Verbum Automate escalation

Messages can be sent automatically only when they match configured rules and guardrails. Exceptions escalate to review.

Reviewer and rule history

Approvals, edits, rejections, reviewer comments and rule executions can keep the decision record tied to the person or rule that acted, where enabled.

Policy-based routing

Route drafts by channel, message type, customer segment, risk level or legal/security terms so sensitive work reaches the right reviewer.

Traceable history and timestamps

Reviewer, timestamp, channel, routing context and final decision details can be preserved where enabled by workflow configuration.

Security and compliance review

Approval workflows connect to enterprise review needs, including security evidence, procurement context and governance documentation for qualified customers.

APPROVAL CONTROLS BY DESIGN

AI accelerates the work. Your rules keep every action accountable.

In Verbum Assist Mode, AI-generated messages route to human review when the workflow requires review. In Verbum Automate Mode, messages can be sent automatically only within configured rules, limits and guardrails, with exceptions escalated to review.

The exact record depends on enabled workflow features, workspace configuration, plan capabilities and channel or provider support.
