How to Create an Alert that "Requires Approval"
Alert types are managed at the workspace level and can only be edited by a Workspace Admin in Workspace Settings. Regular users do not have permission to create, modify, or delete alert types.
If you need to update an existing alert type or create a new one, please contact your Workspace Admin to make the necessary changes.
If a user sends an alert that "Requires Approval", it will need approval from an Admin user before being sent out to all users.
⚠️ Note:
Enabling approval introduces an extra step and can delay critical alerts.
