Conditional approvals with quote builder

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

Updated over 2 weeks 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 set a condition for quote builder’s:

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

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

  • Grand total discount (discount applied to Grand total)

You can also set up a condition for Document value which includes totals of all quote builder and pricing table blocks (if any) in a document. Please note that users with a Member role can add pricing tables to the document.

Tip: Set an approval order if you’d like the document to go to only one approver at a time.

Note: Since the conditional approval currency is controlled by the document value currency, if you change the document value currency, the conditional approval currency will sync with it.
