Approve from Slack

You can now approve, reject, or comment on approval requests directly from Slack. Once this feature is enabled, approvers can take action from their Slack direct messages without needing to open Confluence first.

#What this feature does

After activation, approval requests for Confluence pages can be handled inside Slack DM conversations. This helps reviewers respond faster and reduces context switching between tools.

#How to enable it

#How it works for approvers

Once enabled, users who receive approval requests for Confluence pages can respond directly from their Slack DMs.

• If the page is ready, they can approve it.

• If changes are needed, they can reject it.

• If clarification is required, they can leave a comment.
