AUTOMATION CHANGE REVIEW · Workflow idea

Turn an automation request into a reviewed, deliberate change.

Accept a structured proposal for a new automation, check that it includes the information needed to understand its purpose, and prepare a clear validation result. Keep creation behind an authorized owner’s approval so an unchecked proposal cannot introduce unintended behavior or access.

01 / The starting point

A clear request.
A useful direction.

A structured definition submitted by an authorized teammate for review

“Validate the proposed automation, explain missing or inconsistent details, and wait for an owner to approve creation.”
An example request · Make it specific to your team.

02 / The work

5 tasks.
One useful outcome.

Helps teams handle repeatable automation requests consistently while keeping changes visible and accountable.

  1. Receive a proposed automation definition

    Capture the request’s purpose, owner, and proposed behavior in a reviewable format.

  2. Check required information

    Confirm that the proposal has a clear name and sufficient structure to be understood, and identify missing or inconsistent details.

  3. Review access and possible side effects

    Have a knowledgeable owner inspect the information the automation can access, the changes it may make, and any external communication.

  4. Return a clear validation result

    Explain whether the proposal is ready for review or needs corrections without creating or activating it automatically.

  5. Approve before creation or activation

    Require an authorized owner to approve the exact proposal, destination, permissions, and activation decision.

03 / The result

Something useful.
Something to build on.

A validation summary and reviewed proposal held for an authorized person to approve before it is created.

The handoff

A validation summary and reviewed proposal held for an authorized person to approve before it is created.

Keep in mind

A submitted definition may be malformed, unsafe, or use access beyond its intended purpose. Restrict who can propose changes, inspect permissions and side effects, and require an authorized owner to approve the exact definition and workspace before creation or activation.

04 / Make it yours

Set the brief.
Set the standard.

A few choices shape the work around your team.

Define who may submit proposals

Limit requests to authorized people and document the purpose and information each proposal must include.

Set validation and permission expectations

Agree on required fields, permitted access, review criteria, and cases that must be rejected or clarified.

Choose a review destination and owner

Route proposals to a responsible technical owner and keep unapproved requests separate from live operations.

Separate review, creation, and activation

Require explicit human approval for each consequential step and retain a record of who approved the final change.

Keep exploring
