Automation example - synchronization (wait for multiple things)

Section titled “Automation example - synchronization (wait for multiple things)”

Use the AND operator in Tallyfy automations to make your process wait for several approvals before moving forward. When you connect conditions with AND, all of them must be true before anything happens.

Example - wait for HR and manager approval

Section titled “Example - wait for HR and manager approval”

Say you’re setting up an Employee Onboarding process, and new hires can’t start until both HR and their direct manager approve. Create two Approve/Reject tasks - one assigned to HR, another to the manager.

Then create a single automation that checks whether both tasks show “Approved”. In this example it reveals two steps, “Order equipment” and “Schedule orientation”:

  • Automation:

    Release onboarding after both approvals

    If

    • HR approval is approved
    • AndManager approval is approved

    Then

    • Show step
      Apply to
      Order equipment
    • Show step
      Apply to
      Schedule orientation
Automation with two approval conditions joined by AND that shows Step 3 once both approvals are given.

The AND between conditions is your synchronization point. Because this automation shows “Order equipment” and “Schedule orientation”, Tallyfy hides both when the process launches. They stay hidden until both approvals come through.
