Conditional approvals with quote builder

Automate approvals in PandaDoc with conditional approvals based on quote builder values.

Updated over a week ago

Availability: Enterprise plan

Our conditional approvals feature allows you to automate your document approval workflow. Approvers will receive a document only if conditions based on the quote builder block values that have been set in the template are met. If a condition is not met, the document will automatically move to approved status.

How to set up Conditional approvals

To set up conditions for your approval workflow, start by opening your template, then follow these steps:

  1. Choose the vertical ellipses menu at the top of the page, then choose Workflow in the dropdown

  5. Click Save

Tip: You can set up different conditions for individual approvers separately, or you can leave certain approvers without conditions if they need to approve every document.

You can configure conditions for the following quote builder criteria:

  • Any line item discount (discount applied to any line item)

  • Any section total discount (discount applied to any section)

  • Total discount (sum of all discounts across the quote, excluding discount calculated from products with volume-based pricing, flat value only)

Additionally, you can set a condition for the Document value, which includes totals from all quote builder and pricing table blocks (if any) in a document.

Note: Members can add pricing tables to a document.

Important: Since the document value currency controls the conditional approval currency, if you change the document value currency, the conditional approval currency will sync with it.
