Approvals and human review: how to control what the agent sends
Each channel account has an Auto-Approve Actions switch. With it off, every action waits in the lead's Pending Approval list until a person approves, edits or rejects it. Rules and Human Takeover handle the other half: stopping the agent and moving a conversation to a person.
Published by Sellinger AI. Numbers and settings checked on 19 October 2026 against the fact register. Report an error.
Before you start
- Decide per account. The switch applies to that connected account only.
- Write the rules that should always stop the agent, such as a request to speak to a person. See write rules your agent follows.
Steps
- 1
Step 1
Turn approval on
Open Channels, choose the account and find Auto-Approve Actions (automatically execute actions without human approval). Leave it off so that every action queues for you.
- 2
Step 2
Open the lead
Open a lead from the leads page. Pending actions appear under Pending Approval in the lead's drawer.

Step 3
Decide
Click Approve to send as written. Click Edit, change the text and click Send Edited. Or click Reject.
- 4
Step 4
Review history
Use Show reviewed actions to see what was approved or rejected earlier.
- 5
Step 5
Take over
From the lead's quick actions menu, choose Human Takeover. The agent stops for that lead. Choose Re-enable AI to give it back.
What happens next
Approved messages are sent. Rejected ones are not. A conversation under Human Takeover is flagged as manually taken over.
Good to know
- The Needs Attention rule group halts automation and flags the lead for a person. Examples in the app are a lead who wants a phone call, or mentions legal approval.
- The app has no separate Approvals page. Approvals live in the lead drawer.
- Sellinger also has a send check that refuses a message to a contact on the suppression list. See opt outs and the suppression list.
Common questions
Can I approve many at once?
Does the agent stop on its own?
Can I approve from Claude?
