Refunds — human approval gate

A refund above policy pauses the run and waits in the Approvals inbox (bell icon, top right). Approve it to release the refund lane; reject to route to the denial lane. Test it: the run pauses until you decide.

What’s inside

4 nodes — every type links to its full reference page.

Step	Node	Type
Refund request	Inject	`input.inject`
Manager sign-off	Wait for Approval	`logic.approval`
Release refund	Console	`utility.console`
Denied	Console	`utility.console`

Import it

Studio → Import — paste the JSON below (or the URL /docs/templates/refunds-human-approval-gate.json).

Or ask the AI Copilot with the JSON pasted after the phrase:

import this workflow json into a new workflow named "Refunds — human approval gate"

Any credentials the nodes need are ${credential.…} references — add them once in Admin → Credentials and the template picks them up. Nothing secret ships in a template.
