AI Template Generation turns a plain-English description of an approval process into a draft flow, complete with a suggested name and form fields you can review and adjust. It's for Administrators building a new flow who would rather start from a generated draft than an empty form. The feature is available on all tiers.

Who this is for: admin.

Describe your process and generate a draft flow

When you know how your approval process works but don't want to hand-build every field, describing it in a sentence or two gets you a named draft flow with a structure already in place. You still review and adjust everything before the flow goes live.

  1. Sign in as the Administrator.

  2. Open the flow creation page at http://app.approvethis.test:8098/flows/create.
