Approving suggested changes

Once a suggested change is submitted, authorized users receive notifications via email and in-app alerts.

After all approvers have processed the suggested changes, the user who suggested the changes is notified of the decision. If an email address is specified in the automation configuration, a notification is also sent to that address upon approval of changes for Source of record fields. For systems integrated with ServiceNow, a ticket is automatically generated in the ServiceNow instance so that someone can process the changes requested forSource of record fields and make the actual changes in the source system.

If a suggested change is rejected, the requester is informed about it via email.
