Executing Approvals

Approving guardrails should be fast and frictionless, or adoption suffers. When Stoplight manages approvals, we offer multiple ways to review and resolve them without leaving your workflow – from one-click notification buttons to a desktop tray app and a terminal-native CLI.

Approval requested

RuleASK

Review staging DB migrations

Require approval before running migration scripts against staging databases

Action

psql staging-db < migrations/002-add-indexes.sql

Reason

This migration adds indexes to the staging database. The agent is executing a deploy script that includes a schema change.

Approve

Reject

Route approval requests to Slack, Discord, or email so you never need to poll the Stoplight dashboard. Each notification contains the same rich context shown on the approval screen and includes direct Approve / Deny buttons that resolve the approval in one click.
