How to Keep an Automated Approval From Getting Stuck in an Inactive Inbox

Approvals stall when the assignee is unavailable, notification delivery fails, or delegation rules are unclear.

Checks to make

Track pending age and delivery status, define an authorized delegate and escalation window, and make reassignment auditable. Avoid auto-approving on timeout; return the request to an accountable owner with its decision context.
