Quorum & Majority Voting

Quorum and majority voting controls how many approvers on a gate step have to respond before the step resolves. By default a step waits on every approver assigned to it; with a quorum setting you can pass the step on a majority, a fraction, or a fixed count instead. This is for Administrators configuring a flow that has several approvers on one step, where a single unavailable person would otherwise hold up the request. You'll need a flow with a gate step that already has multiple approvers assigned.

Who this is for: admin.

Require a majority instead of everyone

When a step has several approvers and everyone must respond, one person out of office stalls the request; switching that step to a majority lets it resolve as soon as enough approvers weigh in. Quorum applies to any gate step, including the approval-table (lookup) step — existing lookup steps with no quorum setting stay on quorum=all, so prior behavior is preserved until you change it.

1. Sign in as an Administrator.

2. On the step you want to change, click Configure step.

   

3. Click Settings.

   

4. Click Majority must approve to set the quorum for this step. The step now resolves once a majority of its approvers have responded, and it can deny early — remaining pending approvals are auto-retracted at that point.

   

5. Click Close to return to the flow.

   

The step's approval requirement now reads Majority.
