One of the most widely used approvals processes that suits any business or organization is the leave approval process. It requires early action, sometimes also requiring coordination between multiple parties, like HR, the reporting manager, and the administration. With Universal Actions, Zoho Forms can make this coordination easier and faster as showcased below:
1. The employee submits the leave application form.
2. The manager receives a notification inside the Zoho Forms app for Microsoft Teams or their Outlook inbox, with the actionable cards to approve or deny the leave request.
3. Once the manager approves the request, the card is refreshed and the status of the request is updated in both the Microsoft Teams channel and Outlook.
4. After the approval is completed, the employee gets an email notification about the status of the request.
The whole approval process is faster and easier with the help of Universal Actions in the Zoho Forms app for Microsoft tools. With Zoho Forms, you can add multiple levels of approvers, making your approval process faster and more streamlined.
