This is now live! shipped in v5.125.0 — you can now add a human approval gate to any automation step, requiring a team member to review and approve before the next action fires.

This is perfect for AI-generated content reviews, expense approvals, and publish workflows where a human check is required.

Done! ✅ Approval steps for automations shipped in v5.125.0!

You can now add a human approval step to any automation flow — the automation pauses and waits for a reviewer to approve or reject before proceeding. This is exactly the pattern you described: AI generates an output, human reviews it, then action proceeds only on approval.

How to use it: in your automation flow, add an "Approval" action node. Reviewers get notified and can approve/reject directly from their notification or inbox.

Thanks for voting — this was a high-value automation request!

This is a fantastic request - and the blog article example you gave is spot on. Letting an AI agent generate something and then pausing for human review before it goes live is exactly the kind of responsible AI workflow that makes automation actually trustworthy.

Great news: this is now live! In v5.125 (December 2024), we shipped the ability to toggle approval for individual automation steps - so you can build flows where the AI does its work, then waits for your sign-off before proceeding. We also improved the AI action approval flow in v5.45 for AI-suggested edits, and enhanced approval data handling in v5.103.

With Taskade Genesis (https://taskade.com/create), approval gates are a native part of AI-powered workflows - perfect for content review, client deliverables, or any process where a human needs to be in the loop.

We've prioritized this based on your votes and feedback.

We're planning to include this in an upcoming release. Stay tuned for updates!

Thanks for voting and helping shape Taskade!

We hear you.

We've been shipping fast — over 100 releases in the past few months — and your feedback helps us prioritize what to build next.

Keep the ideas coming — every vote matters!

Here's an idea: It could send a notification to a user (that we specify in the automation), and that user would be able to approve or deny the request, and the automation would branch accordingly.
