Email notifications for the approval requests

Headline:
Feature that would notify the users for approval requests


Description:
When instances or apps are waiting for approvals Morpheus should notify all users with approve permissions.


Example/Use case(s):
Currently the users have to check what needs to be approved manually by checking the approval section. It would be helpful if Morpheus notifies all users that have approve permissions.

Much needed Feature .

This is not perfect, but here is an example scheduled job that checks for pending approvals and sends an email:

We do have more native email notifications coming soon though!

I’m here for the same issue and was hoping for a solution. There should be another workflow task process into the Provisioning Workflow. Ideally, there should be an additional process called ‘Init’ that precedes ‘Configuration’ and can run tasks while waiting for approval.

Configuration phase executes after you hit complete, but before it’s officially submitted to Morpheus. I.E. this runs before the approval. I don’t think it would make sense to make another pre-phase to something already executing before anything has been done.

Thank you for your prompt response. I was hoping this would occur after the approval. It would be great if there were another workflow process after the configuration, after approval instance is created. Thanks.

pre-provision is the next phase that would trigger after approval. Could the task just sit first in this phase?

We are trying to send an approval email when an instance is requested. I believe pre-provisioning occurs when an instance is approved. Please let me know if that’s not the case.

Currently, we have a scheduled task that runs every 5 minutes to check for any unapproved instances and send an email. This approach isn’t ideal for us.
