Frequently Asked Questions

How does the Email integration pause a workflow and collect approval?

When a workflow reaches an Email step it pauses and sends a request email with the necessary context. The workflow waits until the recipient provides the required input or approval (as recorded in viaSocket). Once the response is recorded, the workflow resumes automatically.

Can I combine Email human review with AI automation in viaSocket?

Yes. Combine AI steps (for example: summarize documents, draft responses, or classify items) to prepare context, then use Email to request a human to review and sign off. This pairs AI speed with human oversight to reduce errors and improve outcomes.

Is approval activity stored for audits and compliance?

Yes. Email steps capture the human input or approval inside the workflow so you have a timestamped record and context for each decision, helping with audits and regulatory reviews.

Who receives the email requests and how do they reply?

You configure which person or team receives each Email request. The message includes the context they need and clear instructions for providing input. Once their response is recorded in viaSocket, the workflow proceeds according to the configured path.
