Insert a Comment to Confirm Status Change Should Happen (with links for Yes/No)

July 29, 2025

The aim is to confirm critical changes in Podio (e.g., status updates) by prompting users to approve or reject the change through clickable links in a comment.

This can be done by enabling Podio Workflow Automation (PWA) to dynamically insert a comment with confirmation links (Yes/No), allowing users to approve or reject the proposed change directly in Podio.

Example

Build External Link flows for each option that you have in the comment (this will allow you to create additional actions based on the click of the Yes/No in comment).
Build an Item Updated flow that watches for a change to the critical field you want to monitor. If that field changes;
- Add Comment action using the script example below in green.
In the Podio Comments you will now have a message with the Yes/No links and clicking Yes will move to the next step. No will take no action.

Please confirm if the status change should proceed:

- [Yes](https://workflow-automation.podio.com/yes-webhook-url)
- [No](https://workflow-automation.podio.com/no-webhook-url)

NOTE:

A similar method to this can be used to create ‘Uneditable Apps’
