Frequently Asked Questions

How do I set up a promotion request workflow without a developer?

With AltraFlow, you can configure a promotion request workflow in 3 minutes. Use the drag-and-drop custom workflow builder to add steps, assign approvers by role, and set rules — no code, no developer required.

Why do promotion request approvals get lost or delayed?

Most approval delays happen because requests are sent by email with no tracking or reminders. AltraFlow automatically sends email notifications, escalates overdue approvals, and gives you a real-time dashboard so you always know where a request is stuck.

Can I customize this template for my team?

Yes. This template is a starting point. You can add or remove steps, change approver roles, require comments, add custom form fields, and set conditional logic — all without any technical knowledge.
