Creating tasks for the Approvals stage

In the Approvals stage, you can create tasks for each stakeholder and/or team member whose approval is needed to continue with the release to the App Store Connect or Google Play.

Optionally, you can assign an approval task to a team member. Only the assigned team member can approve the task.

  1. Open your release.

  2. Select Approvals on the left navigation bar.

    • Title: Identifies the task. This is required.

    • Description: A short summary of the task. This is optional.

    • Assign to: Select a team member to assign the task to. Only that team member will be able to approve the task. This is optional. Leave it on (not assigned) if you want anyone on the team to be able to approve the task.

    • Due date: Select a due date for the task's approval. This is optional.

You can create as many tasks as you want.

After finishing a task in the approvals stage, you can tick it off using the checkbox next to the task. When all tasks have been ticked off, Approvals will be ticked off as well on the left navigation bar.

When done, you can proceed to:

Assigning an approval task to a team member with the REST API

You can assign an approval task to a team member with the help of our Release Management API. For more information on our API endpoint, check out our API docs.

Limited access

Note that you need a Personal Access Token or a Workspace token to authenticate your API calls.

Only a Workspace owner, a Project Admin and a Release Manager has the right to assign approval tasks to team members.

You can create an approval task with the POST /releases/{release_id}/approvals endpoint by providing the user slug, due date, summary and a description.

You can update an approval task with the PATCH /releases/{release_id}/approvals/{task_id}endpoint.
