Approvals
Approvals records a person’s decision about a signed action or daily proof. Use it to review evidence, explain your decision, and keep a verifiable record of who approved or denied it.

Review a request
- Open Approvals and filter to Pending.
- Open a request and inspect the evidence and context supplied by your integration.
- Enter a reason of at least 10 characters, then choose Approve or Deny. Asqav signs the decision and records the reviewer.
Context can include the action payload, a supplied explanation, a risk assessment, a policy reference, or an expected change. Availability depends on what your integration submits.
Connect your integration
Create a request with POST /api/v1/approvals/, setting status to pending and supplying exactly one existing signature_id or daily_proof_id. Use context to provide the information a reviewer needs.
Decide a pending request with PATCH /api/v1/approvals/{approval_id}, a final status of approved or denied, and a reason. The response includes the signed decision and its verification URL. The API stores denials as rejected.
Your integration controls whether an agent waits for this decision and what happens afterward. Creating or deciding an approval does not itself pause or resume agent execution.
Approvals and multi-party signing
An approval records a human review of existing evidence. Multi-party signing collects signatures until a configured group’s required count is reached. Its dashboard queue is called Signing requests; use Signer groups to inspect the configured threshold. Participant setup and authorization use the signing API. See dashboard and API responsibilities.
The single-approver approvals queue is available on all plans, including Free. Multi-party quorum approvals (N-of-M threshold signing via signing groups) are available on Enterprise.
